Protea 'Red Ice' is among the hardiest proteas and thrives in Western Cape summer gardens—ideal for both Cape Town and George. With dramatic summer blooms and excellent vase life, it’s suited to low-water landscapes once established. Plant in full sun with free-draining, acidic soil, avoid fertilisers high in phosphates, and water regularly during the first season to ensure strong growth.
