Protea 'King White' is a medium-sized indigenous shrub that produces spectacular large white protea flowers with reddish stems, perfect for creating stunning focal points in water-wise gardens and indigenous landscapes. This hardy South African fynbos plant thrives in well-draining soils and Mediterranean climates, making it an excellent choice for Western Cape gardens where dramatic blooms and drought tolerance are desired. Plant 2-3m apart for screening or use as a striking specimen plant in mixed fynbos plantings. Feed annually with a low-phosphorus indigenous plant fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and abundant flowering. For best results, plant in Arnelia Premium Potting Soil for optimal drainage and nutrition.
