Plant in full sun in most any soil including clay and alkaline soils. Once established this plant is drought tolerant, requiring little irrigation. This long cultivated Protea is noted both for its beautiful flowers and for its reliability in the garden with long life and great tolerance for coastal conditions and alkaline soils (as high as pH 8.4). It is a great choice as a screening or hedge plant. To encourage dense growth and good branching structure plants should be pruned at a young age. The one drawback of this species is that it is not particularly cold hardy and early frosts can damage new growth, flowers and buds so protection may be required if temperatures drop below 29 F.

Growing up to 30 metres high, Rewarewa are the tallest protea in the world, a family known for their striking flowers. Rewarewa is no exception, with rust-red, velvety flowers that are both spiky and tightly coiled.
Each flower-cluster contains fifty to eighty tubular flowers anchored on a single stem. Once the pollen is released from the tip, the petals coil downwards to expose the central female spike, ready to receive pollen from the feathered tummies of tūī, silvereye, and korimako.
Sun-loving Rewarewa quickly dominate the canopy in regenerating forest, to the delight of the birds, insects and geckos who can reach their stores of nectar.
Thrives on poor free draining poor clay soils. Prefers full sunlight. Fast growing, excellent small garden tree as it does not grow too wide.
Grows to 15m x 3m
Tall Tree. Can grow to 30m
