Niobe is a rare, compact protea with creamy feathery flower bracts, touched with black edging, surrounding a dark centre. Niobe flowers from autumn to spring; providing a stunning floral display to the garden during the colder months and supplying food for birds and bees. Plant as a feature, into tubs, shape into a low hedge or mass plant for a stunning effect. As with all proteas, Niobe is a fantastic cut flower. Be sure to use a native soil mix when planting as exotic potting mix or exotic fertiliser will kill them.

Soil: Well-drained soil. Use mounds for planting in areas of heavy clay.
Conditions: Full sun to part shade. Frost, drought and coastal tolerant
Size: Height 2.5m x width 1.5m
