Protea King Pink - 14cm Pot

Protea ‘King Pink’ is a spectacular evergreen shrub renowned for its enormous pink flower heads, which can reach up to 30cm across once established. As one of the most recognisable Protea varieties, it creates a stunning focal point in the garden, bringing bold colour and architectural beauty from spring onwards.

The impressive blooms are held above leathery green foliage and are highly prized as long-lasting cut flowers. Equally at home in native gardens, Mediterranean-style landscapes or large decorative pots, ‘King Pink’ combines dramatic flowering with excellent drought tolerance once established.

With its iconic blooms and striking form, this King Protea is an outstanding feature plant for Australian gardens.

Mature size: approximately 2 metres high × 1.5 metres wide

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun with good air circulation in free-draining, slightly acidic soil.
Water regularly during the first year while establishing, allowing the soil to partially dry between waterings.
Once established, water moderately during extended dry periods.
Feed sparingly with a low-phosphorus fertiliser formulated for Australian native plants if required.
Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth, avoiding hard pruning into old bare wood.
