A Hybrid protea with deep red bracts with a slight silvery tinge to the upper bract. A very free flowering plant which will start flowering at a young age. Prefers full sun in a free draining soil. Protect from heavy frost when young. Evergreen.

To have success with your Protea good drainage is essential. They like a nice light slightly acidic soil. They don't like fertilizer high in phosphates. Generally feeding is not necessary but a slow release with a low phosphate (P) rating is the safest to use. Any pruning should be done after flowering.
