Fynbos and Protea Discussion question:

Seedlings zone 8 US. - J. Giles August 04, 2000

  • I received four seedlings as a gift-- Mayday, Orange Frost, Pink Ice Mink, and a red Pincussion.

    I live in Dallas, TX Zone 7/8 in U.S.; Dallas is right on the cusp of both
    zones. Can these seedlings be landscape grown in this climate and when is the best time to transplant.

    They are currently in 1 gallon terracotta pots. Potting soil = 1/3 pearlite, 1/3 sand, and 1/3 peat. This mixture dries out quite quickly so watering is required about 2x weekly. They have been placed in a southern exposure away from draft and direct heat.

    Seeking advice on where to go from here. Thanks for your help.
