Protea nana

Description

Beautiful, dainty, densely branched small shrub with deep green needle-like leaves and masses of bell-shaped wine-red flowers in winter-spring. The flowers are best seen if looked at from below so ideally plant on an embankment looking up. Grows well in heavier soils with moisture during dry periods. Excellent container plant and cut flower.
