Close encounters Larger than life, older than time, shockingly beautiful. Everybody remembers their first encounter with a Protea in bloom; the distinctive cone shape, the white mass of stamens surrounded by colorful leaves.
Varieties There are hundreds of species, each different in style and size, some reaching up to 35 cm in size. From the star-shaped King Protea to the playful Carnival, there are near-infinite possibilities.
True story Protea’s story is a long one. The Proteaceae family dates back millions of years, and there’s no sign of stopping. She’s forever the symbol of change, hope, diversity and courage.

Extraordinary doesn’t always mean all out. Sometimes it’s alright to keep it all in. Cape Green is the minimal, but soulful queen of modern elegance.
Cool collective Cape Green is the collective name for different plant species native to the cape of Africa. There are a dazzling number of them, each with their own qualities.
Top choice We pride ourselves in finding the finest varieties each harvest. Pictured here is one our top choices: striking, ball-shaped flowers in ocean tones, offset by dark green stems. Simple, subtle, very special.
Odilia has a penchant for the extraordinary. We work with the world’s best growers to find the most amazing varieties, sharing our enthusiasm with our customers.

This pincushion Protea is all sorts of different, and a genuine shot of sunlight at that.
Cultivation Nutans, also known as Leucospermum, is notoriously finicky, with most varieties having a limited ecological range and requiring specific conditions to grow. Thankfully, our master growers think she’s worth all the extra trouble.
Remix We highly recommend the luxurious look of Nutans. Tall stems, voluminous foliage, distinct flowers in tones of orange, ochre, lemon and shades of coral. It’s classic beauty, remixed for today.
Leucadendron

This is Leucadendron, or cone bush. A single flower can be enough to light up a room: vibrant colors, weaving shapes, fantastic styles.
Family matters Part of the Proteaceae family, Leucadendron has similar qualities. Voluminous foliage, stems and cones, spectacular flowers in various shapes, and an evergrowing color palette thanks to new hybrids.
Cultivation Leucadendron requires a specific habitat, and today is mostly found in the South African fynbos and Australia. In the wild, the plants may reach 9 metres in height. Our master growers prefer specimens a bit smaller and fitter - in order to get spectacular blooms.
