King protea is woody shrub that belongs to the protea family. It originates from South Africa. King protea can be found in scrublands (from the sea level to the altitude of nearly 5.000 feet). It grows in areas with dry, hot summers and cold winters, on the well-drained, poor soil, exposed to direct sunlight. Habitat destruction due to urbanization and accelerated development of agriculture, suppression of wildfires and introduction of new plant species are major threats for the survival of king proteas in the wild. Luckily, king protea is very popular and often cultivated in gardens, nurseries and greenhouses.
King protea develops few thick stems that can reach 3 feet in height.
King protea has flattened, paddle-shaped leaves. They are leathery, thick and dark green in colour. Leaves have long petioles and they are alternately arranged on the stem.
King protea gets all the water it needs from the fog. Leaves absorb moist which collects on their surface.
King protea develops 6 to 10 bowl-shaped flower heads that consist of numerous small, tubular-shaped flowers. They can be pink or crimson-coloured and surrounded with large, stiff, pointed bracts (modified petals-like leaves). Flowers contain both types of reproductive organs (perfect flowers). Inner part of the flower head is filled with numerous white stamens oriented toward the centre. Flower head can reach 12 inches in diameter and it looks like large artichoke.
King protea blooms during the warm period of year. Flowers are rich source of nectar which attracts sunbirds, sugar birds, honeybees, monkey beetles, rove beetles and scarab beetles, which are responsible for the pollination of this plant.
Fruit of king protea is cone filled with large hairy nut.
Wildfires facilitate drying of cones and release of seed. Wind plays role in dispersal of seed, while rain during the autumn triggers germination.
King protea tolerates wildfires thanks to thick underground stem filled with numerous dormant buds (which start to
