Water Wise

While protea varieites are very drought hardy, meaning less work for you, this is only the case once they are established in your garden.

For the first two years after planting they will need a bit more love. Be sure to water your proteas approx twice a week and increase to daily during this warmer weather. After that, those shown on the label as drought resistant can be watered much less.

Plants in tubs will need to be watered daily.
