Protea ‘Australis Passion’ is a spectacular evergreen shrub prized for its bold, sculptural pink-and-cream flower bracts and dark centres that create a dramatic focal point in the garden and attract birds. It thrives in full sun with very well-drained, low-nutrient, acidic soil, requires excellent drainage and minimal fertilising, and should be watered carefully once established as it is drought tolerant.

Size: typically grows to around 1.5–2m tall and 1.5–2m wide
