King Protea 10 seeds

Protea are the world’s most unusual flowers native to South Africa, but not easy to grow. They need an acid compost. The King Protea, Protea cynaroides, has outstanding flowers up to 30cm across with dark pink bracts. Only 1.5m tall with the 12cm leathery leaves.

Remove fluffy parts from each seed before sowing. Sow on the surface of a good free draining seed compost. Keep moist but not wet in bright light. Requires a daily temperature cycle of around 12 hours at 15C and 12 hours at 30C. Germinates in 1 to 3 months.
