Description
Mini King Protea is a breathtaking, compact variety of the iconic King Protea, bringing the majesty of South Africa's national flower into a manageable size for smaller gardens. It produces astonishingly large, sculptural flower heads that are works of art in themselves. Each bloom consists of a central dome of tiny flowers surrounded by stiff, waxy, pink to deep rose bracts that form a spectacular, crown-like display. Its glossy, deep green foliage provides a handsome, evergreen backdrop. Slow-growing and exceptionally drought-tolerant, it is the ultimate statement plant for a sunny, well-drained slope or a stunning container specimen.
