Our philosophy
“At Proteaflora, we see gardens and greenspace as treasures within our personal environment which combine nature with design.
The Protea is one of nature’s crown jewels which is evident in the beauty of its flower and the story of its origin.
We want everyone to join us in our passion and love for this ancient wonder to help create a better world.
By cultivating this adaptive flora, we are in turn sharing the wisest flower of them all into the kingdom of our gardens.
Just as every nation needs a leader, every garden needs a king.”

The team at Proteaflora is proud to have been recognised by the gardening industry for our work in supplying quality proteas and expert advice to nurseries, garden centres, landscapers and cut flower specialists across the country.
