Protea garden 1 year update - leucospermums massive growth - tips to growing

[@Bentonendflowerfarm]

Great video! We are in the uk, purchased 3 varieties from Portugal, currently have them in pots, and they are growing, we are going to create a bed to put them in, on a bank in full sun, scared , but may just go for it! Zone 8 I think 🤔 here in Suffolk. I wonder if anyone else has them outside in the UK??? Anyway thank you x Jo

Good luck... has gotten down to 26 degrees here in sacramento and plants did fine. I would cover the plants if it got colder..

[@sl0pack]

Thanks for all the great information. Can you do a pruning video?

[@growproteas1148]

thanks... will look into it

[@williamstubbs779]

Gorgeous blossoms! I am not able to grow any of these in Central Florida. Too wet and too hot and humid. These do not do well indoors either.

[@growproteas1148]

Thanks

[@misterchrissy]

looking great! did your hakea victoria not survive the sac heat?

[@growproteas1148]

The hakea is doing well... I didn't mention it as there are no flowers on it. You can see it in the video in the back. I cut it back as it had overgrown

Where do you get the plants and seeds?

[@growproteas1148]

plants are available from many nurseries in along California coast - also seeds i bought from south africa - silverhillseeds.co.za/

[@yamaha550xz]

Have you propagated any proteas from cuttings,

[@growproteas1148]

no I haven't - just grown from seeds

[@vivennaidoo]

How did you get seeds from your protea

[@growproteas1148]

the flowers may produce the seeds depending if they get germinated - most of my plants produced seeds which are easy to remove once hardened

[@vivennaidoo]

Thanks just got myself a protea neriifolia from a local nursery here in South Africa hopefully one day when it blooms I can collect seeds 😊
