Protea Red Sensation
Protea Red Sensation features glossy, wine-red bracted cones framed by robust foliage—ideal for straight-line bunches, mass-market retail floral lines, and early winter to early spring seasonal promotions.
Protea Red Sensation (Protea magnifica × Protea burchellii) is a premium South African hybrid cultivated in the Western Cape under the highest quality standards. Its medium-to-large flower heads showcase rich burgundy-red outer bracts with subtle velvety undertones, contrasted by slender, blue-green foliage. The sturdy stems and consistent bloom size make it a favourite for large-scale bouquets and retail displays. Red Sensation brings deep, jewel-toned warmth to cool-season arrangements.
