Question

I want to plant protea. I live on the coast. Lots of sun. Which is best species and do you sell them? I love sugarbush!
Taissa
Belvedere

Answer

Many of the Proteas do very well in our climate. We have the best availability towards the end of February and March. We usually have varieties of Protea neriifolia, Leucospermum, Leucodendron discolor, and Banksia. They come in 2g and 5g cans. I like Sugarbush too but none of our vendors seem to grow it.
