NO Phosphorous for Protea. You WILL kill them.
www.finebushpeople.com
have a lot of info on growing Protea.
Some are relatively easy - some virtually impossible.
If you want to try from seed, they have a large selection.
I have toyed with the idea of growing them, but always change my mind as I have too much to lug in.
Many are very lovely. I used to carry them all the time when I owned my flower shop. They look great in tropical arrangements and we were known for them. We did some spectacular funeral pieces.
