Unusual protea relation from Australia, a handsome evergreen easily grown as a multi-stemmed shrub or trimmed as a small tree and reaching 8-10 ft and possibly to 15 ft over a long time. The leaves are abundant, long and narrow with edges that are widely toothed -- say bumpy -- creating an interesting texture. Blooms over a long period in summer, the clusters of fragrant, white flowers nestled amongst the leaves. Sun to part shade is best in well-drained soil. Avoid fertilizer as with all proteaceous plants. Somewhat drought tolerant but best with regular summer water. Frost hardy to 5F, mid USDA zone 7.
