Protea 'Brenda': A Vibrant Splash of Color, Deep Red Creamy White Beauty

💖 Protea 'Brenda': The Compact, Early-Flowering Crimson Gem The Protea 'Brenda' is a popular and striking Protea hybrid prized for its compact size, early blooming nature, and stunning, deep flower color. This evergreen shrub features beautiful, upright cup-shaped flower heads with vivid crimson-red bracts, often tipped with white or silver fuzz, creating a striking contrast against its broad, leathery leaves. As a highly ornamental and relatively small Protea, 'Brenda' is an excellent specimen plant for smaller yards, borders, or large patio containers in Mediterranean and water-wise gardens.
