Protea

Protea are bold, sculptural blooms known for their large heads, sturdy stems, and long-lasting nature. They add dramatic focal impact and a modern, textured look to DIY arrangements. Expect natural variation in head size, color tone, and petal/spike formation depending on the variety (King, Queen, Pink Ice, Pincushion, & Blushing Bride.).

Typical bunch size: 1–5 stems (varies widely by variety and farm).

DIY Care & Handling Tips

Unbox immediately upon receiving.

Recut stems and hydrate upright for 6–12 hours; keep in a cool location.

Remove any foliage below the water line.

Stems are woody—use sharp clippers or floral shears for clean cuts.

Very durable, but outer bracts can bend if heavily handled—use gentle pressure.

Keep away from direct heat to prevent drying at the edges.

Protea may continue to open slightly after hydrating; this is normal.

See the DIY Guide for full care instructions.
