XL Soft Pink King Protea

The Make Everyday Bloom Difference

Because Proteas are so hardy, many florists let them sit in buckets for weeks. At Make Everyday Bloom, we treat them with the same urgency as a delicate peony. Andrew hand-picks these Auction-Direct to ensure the "fuzz" on the petals is pristine and the heavy, woody stems are hydrated and healthy.

By moving them through our 48-hour sprint, we ensure you receive a stem that is at the very beginning of its life cycle. While most flowers bow out after a week, a Make Everyday Bloom King Protea is just getting started—often staying vibrant in your vase for up to three weeks. It’s the ultimate investment in long-lasting luxury.

Cher’s Styling Secret: The 'Desert Luxe' Look

"The King Protea is so visually dominant that it can actually be quite intimidating to style. My favorite Make Everyday Bloom move is to lean into its rugged origins.

Pair a single XL Protea with a few stems of our Supernova Blue Thistle. The metallic blue spikes of the thistle provide a sharp, cool contrast to the soft, velvety pink of the Protea. It creates this 'Desert Luxe' vibe that looks incredible in minimalist, modern interiors. It’s not just a bouquet; it’s a living sculpture."

Product Details

• The Palette: A dusty, sophisticated blush pink with silvery-green undertones and a soft, cream-coloured centre.

• The Look: An oversized, "King" grade head (approx. 12–15cm diameter) on a thick, sturdy, wood-like stem.

• The Gift: Arrives in our signature Make Everyday Bloom plastic-free, sustainable craft paper wrap. One single stem makes a bigger impact than a dozen standard roses.

• Care: These are "heavy drinkers." Trim the woody stem at a sharp 45° angle with heavy-duty shears and place in a sturdy vase with plenty of fresh water.
