The Beautiful and Varied Blooms of the Protea Family

May 1

At Flora Grubb Gardens plant store in San Francisco, we always have dozens of protea-family plants in stock. We grow many varieties at our very own nurseries at Grubb & Nadler in Southern California, including grevillea, leucadendron, leucospermums and banksia.

Among the proteaceae there is a vast variety of exotic flowers, and many of these plants have a long blooming season, especially here in coastal California, where the weather mimics their native South African and Australian coastal landscapes.

Here are some of the beautiful varied blooms of our proteaceae in different stages. For more information about growing and caring for protea-family plants, click here.
