Protea repens (open pollinated from Red and White plants) – Common Sugarbush Open pollinated Red / White flowers – 5 seeds

Most Protea occur south of the Limpopo River. However, Protea kilimanjaro is found in the chaparral zone of Mount Kenya National Park. 92% of the species occur only in the Cape Floristic Region, a narrow belt of mountainous coastal land from Clanwilliam to Grahamstown, South Africa. The extraordinary richness and diversity of species characteristic of the Cape Flora is thought to be caused in part by the diverse landscape where populations can become isolated from each other and in time develop into separate species.

A 4m shrub/ small tree with long narrow leaves and involucral bracts of red/white flowers in the winter-summer. This variety is open pollinated from red and white plants. A great choice if you want something unique.
