The cut protea flower, also known as the king Protea and South African sugarbush (Protea repens), is a bush found in South Africa. It is a deciduous shrub that grows up to about 2 meters high with a spread of about half this distance. The flowers have five petals that grow out from the centre of each flower. They bloom for about three months during summer, but are best when used fresh and rarely last over one day after being cut from the bush. The leaves grow in pairs and are alternately arranged along the branches of each individual plant, while new growth emerges at their base during springtime before they turn green again once summer begins.
Cut protea flowers are sold by the stem.
The stem is the part that attaches the flower to the plant, and it will be attached to the flower at the base of its petals. One stem of protea flower will cost around $4.75 but if you add more items to your list, then you will see the price going down to $2.60.
