It is tolerant of extended dry periods, moderate frost, and cool climates, though some protection while establishing will benefit overall performance. Protea ‘Red Ice’ is a versatile plant that is often included in mixed plantings, added to coastal gardens, maintained in a container, planted around pool areas, or grown anywhere the beauty of the large flowers can be enjoyed.
