Description

Protea lorifolia is a South African shrub about 1.50 to 3 meters high in the Proteaceae family. It grows on dry slopes in sandstone soils between 450 and 1400 m altitude in the southern part of South Africa along the Indian Ocean. We bought it in 2018 from the nursery "A l'ombre des figuiers" under the name Protea laurifolia.
