Protea Red Magic (Protea magnifica) is a show-stopping South African native cultivated under rigorous standards in the Western Cape. Its large, urn-shaped flower heads display richly saturated rose-red outer bracts and a pronounced black hairy crown. Accompanied by narrow, blue-green foliage, Red Magic brings bold colour contrast and sculptural drama.
