PROTEA SEEDS CORONATA - 5 PROTEA SEEDS

PROTEA CORONATA – GREEN SUGARBUSH

Protea coronata has bright apple-green inflorescences hidden amongst its silvery foliage; it's not a showy garden shrub but the very attractive and most unusual flower heads are wonderful in floristry. It is also one of those species that remains relatively unknown to gardeners because its camouflaged green flower heads often go unnoticed. It is an upright shrub, 2-3 m tall, becoming a sparsely branched, small tree up to 5 m high. Leaves are upward-pointing, narrowly lance-shaped, green to bluish green, sometimes turning purplish around the flower head, and sparsely covered in long shaggy hairs, giving them a silvery sheen, and becoming hairless with age. Young growth is often attractively tinged red or coppery.
