Proteas: South Africa's Floral Crown Jewel
South Africa's national flower deserves its crown. Proteas are unlike anything else in the floral world - their sculptural beauty, remarkable longevity, and uniquely African character make them truly special. When you send proteas, you are sending a piece of Cape Town's indigenous heritage, wrapped in extraordinary beauty.
From the majestic King Protea with its impressive crown-like bloom to delicate pink varieties that bring softer elegance, our protea collection celebrates this indigenous treasure. These extraordinary blooms originated right here in the Western Cape's fynbos biome - the same floral kingdom that stretches across our peninsula and mountainsides. They have conquered hearts worldwide, yet there is something special about giving proteas from the very place they call home.
For recipients who appreciate the unique, the bold, and the distinctly South African, proteas make an unforgettable statement. They are also remarkably practical: lasting 2-3 weeks fresh and drying beautifully for permanent display. It is a gift that genuinely keeps giving.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Proteas
How long do proteas last?
This is where proteas truly shine - they can last 2-3 weeks in a vase, significantly longer than most cut flowers. They also dry beautifully, so your arrangement can transition from fresh flowers to a lasting dried display. Many recipients keep their dried proteas for months or even years as decorative pieces.
Are proteas native to South Africa?
Yes! Proteas are indigenous to South Africa, with the greatest diversity found in the Cape Floral Kingdom, including right here in the Western Cape. The King Protea (Protea cynaroides) is South Africa's national flower. When you send proteas, you are sending a piece of our unique floral heritage.
What is the King Protea?
The King Protea is the largest and most spectacular of all protea species, with flower heads that can reach up to 30cm in diameter. Its dramatic bowl-shaped bloom with pointed bracts resembles a crown, hence the regal name. Our King Protea arrangements feature these magnificent blooms and make impressive gifts for significant occasions.
Are proteas suitable for overseas recipients?
While we deliver throughout the Cape Town area, proteas do travel well due to their hardiness. They are popular in international floristry precisely because of their remarkable longevity. If you have family abroad, proteas make wonderful gifts that speak to South African heritage and last well after delivery.
Can I combine proteas with other flowers?
Absolutely! We offer several arrangements that pair proteas with complementary blooms like roses, lilies, and Stargazers. These combinations bridge indigenous South African flora with international favourites, creating unique arrangements with diverse textures and visual interest. Our Protea and Rose Medley Gift Box is a popular example.
Are proteas a good choice for men?
Proteas are an excellent choice for male recipients. Their bold, architectural structure and distinctly unconventional appearance appeals to people who might not respond to traditional flowers. The national flower angle also adds meaning - it is a gift with genuine South African significance.
