Protea venusta 'White' is an erect and robust shrub. It produces beautiful creamy white flowers, typically sticky from the nectar they exude, making it an excellent choice for attracting birds and for use in floral arrangements. Peak flowering occurs in winter, primarily from January to February. This plant prefers an open, sunny location and thrives in well-drained, acidic soils. Regular but moderate watering is crucial during establishment, after which it can tolerate drought conditions. Notably, while the plant may die after a fire, its seeds are stored in a protective shell, ensuring survival and wind dispersal. This unisexual plant relies on birds for pollination, enhancing its role in supporting local wildlife.
