Protea 'Pink Crown'

Protea 'Pink Crown', also known as Pink Mink Protea, is a stunning South African native shrub prized for its compact size and vibrant pink flower heads. Growing to about 60 cm tall and 50 cm wide, this small shrub is perfect for pots, containers, or low garden borders where a splash of colour is desired year-round, as it flowers throughout the year with peak blooms in spring and summer.

The plant features bright green foliage that contrasts beautifully with its large, striking pink flowers. Protea 'Pink Crown' is drought tolerant once established and prefers full sun to part shade, thriving in well-drained, acidic soils typical of protea culture.
