Description

Ideal for indigenous, fynbos, water-wise, and coastal gardens, ‘King Pink’ thrives as a feature plant in garden beds, rockeries, and large containers. Its impressive flowers are also highly prized for fresh and dried floral arrangements, making them a favourite for both the garden and the vase.

Plant Care Tips

• Light: Thrives in full sun for the best flowering and vigorous growth.
• Water: Water regularly while establishing. Once established, water deeply but infrequently during prolonged dry periods.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Avoid heavy clay soils and areas prone to waterlogging.
• Feeding: Feed sparingly with a low-phosphorus fertiliser specially formulated for proteas and other fynbos plants.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower heads and lightly prune after flowering to encourage healthy new growth and maintain a neat, compact shape.
• Growing Conditions: Plant in a sunny location with excellent drainage and good air circulation. Avoid disturbing the roots once established.
