Protea 'Pink Ice': Cold-Hardy, Silvery-Pink Protea for Low-Water Landscapes

❄️ Protea 'Pink Ice': The Silvery-Pink, Cold-Hardy Beauty The Protea 'Pink Ice' is a popular and exceptionally reliable Protea hybrid prized for its superior cold tolerance and stunning, elegant blooms. This hardy evergreen shrub is the result of a cross between P. nerifolia and P. compacta, combining the best traits of both parents. It produces abundant, elongated, cone-shaped blooms in a beautiful shade of silvery-pink that deepens towards the base, often tipped with a soft, feathery white or black beard. 'Pink Ice' is a highly adaptable, low-maintenance specimen for Mediterranean, coastal, and architectural gardens. Its robust nature, superior drought tolerance, and suitability for a wider range of climates make it a reliable choice, yielding superb, strong-stemmed long-lasting cut flowers and a consistent source of nectar for hummingbirds.
