Description

Protea ‘Tasman Ruby’ is a horticultural hybrid between Protea neriifolia and Protea magnifica whose origin is unknown as it is not listed in the international register of Proteaceae in South Africa. This shrub is said to reach a height of 1.50 m by the same width. If it is indeed a hybrid of these two species, it must be fairly hardy, probably exceeding -5°C, but we can’t be sure.
