The Protea cynaroides is known for its magnificent, crown-like flowers, which vary from light pink to deep pink depending on the sunlight it receives. Its stunning blooms, combined with bold green foliage, make it a standout feature in any space. This hardy plant thrives in a range of climates, tolerating heat, cold, and drought. It is essential to plant the Protea cynaroides in well-draining soil, as its roots are sensitive to excess moisture. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the soil is light and allows water to drain efficiently. This plant is grown from seed.
