Protea cynaroides, also called King Protea, is a sparsely branched evergreen shrub, prized for its huge bowl-shaped flower heads. Each spectacular flower head features a central bouquet of inner flowers surrounded by stiff, pointed, colorful bracts. Their color ranges from greenish white through silky silvery pink to red. In its native habitat, King Protea blooms primarily in warmer months, but sporadically throughout the year.
Protea cynaroides, also called the king protea, giant protea, honeypot or king sugar bush is a distinctive member of Protea, having the largest flower head in the genus. It is widely distributed in the southwestern and southern parts of South Africa in the fynbos region.\nThis unusual flower has a long vase life in flower arrangements, and makes for an excellent dried flower.\nProtea cynaroides is adapted to survive wildfires by its thick underground stem, which contains many dormant buds; these will produce the new growth after the fire.
