Protea Susara

Protea Susara 

A wonderfully hardy and compact protea. And an ideal choice for small gardens, rockeries and pots. This resilient plant thrives in low-maintenance settings, producing vibrant soft white pink flowers with an inner glow! Flowering autumn and winter. It is a magnet for native nectar loving birds (even though it is an exotic!), and provides a valuable food source through this period. Wonderful light pink flowers are long lasting and add much needed colour to the winter garden. They also make a fabulous cut flower. And a wonderful dried flower.

Well-suited to a range of garden styles, Protea Susara adds striking colour and texture throughout the seasons. With its strong, drought-tolerant nature, Frost tolerance, and adaptability to a range of soils and climates, it is perfect for gardeners seeking a hardy, low-care plant. One that will reward with spectacular flowers, both fresh and dried.

Growing 2.5m H x 2m W they make a fantastic specimen shrub or informal hedge. We prune our plants hard after flowering, to keep ours around 1-1.5m. 

Proteas are sensitive to Phosphorous in fertiliser. For best results we recommend using Garden Delight Rock Minerals at planting and in place of a fertiliser.
