Protea Southern Cross

Bred to be the champion of the classic heavy, clay-based Australian soils, Southern Cross is up to the challenge to survive against the odds! Thriving in heavy soils, Southern Cross displays beautiful musk-pink blooms with white feathery tips throughout winter and into the early spring. Proteas are prized for their long vase life, making them a florists dream and a stunning addition to bouquets and floral arrangements. Southern Cross is ideal for water-wise gardens – its low-maintenance needs make it a favourite for gardeners seeking beauty without the fuss.
