Description

Protea susannae is a South African shrub reaching 2 to 3 meters in height and 3 to 4 meters in spread. It grows on edges between sea level and 200 meters above sea level. Its habitat is frost-free. For this reason, we don’t think it’s very hardy, but we have no experience of it as we plant it in zone 10 near the rock. It flowers from autumn to spring.
