Current Obsession: Lady Di


Lady Di. Oh La La... this stunning protea has won us over, heart and soul. Lush, colorful, and bursting with texture, this hybrid queen is a blend of Protea magnifica ‘queen’ and compacta. With a medium-to-large size bloom, Lady Di plays off more of the soft, velvety appearance of compacta and lacks the woolly beard of the magnifica. Its long floral bracts are pink, plush and tipped in delicate white fur, then shading to cream at the base while surrounding a silvery-pink central dome. Lady Di typically blooms winter through early spring.



Lady Di looks fabulous mixed with a variety of proteas or combined with an array other colorful flowers and foliage. She's regal but also fluffy and soft... the perfect winter pick-me-up. Dawn to dusk…. happy hour is infinite in blooms this luminous.
