Plant Family

Proteaceae

1 plant in database

Proteaceae in this database spans zones 9-11 with 1 species, so design it as a guild component instead of a monoculture block. Use its strongest role (Shade Provider) intentionally and manage spacing for airflow because there are lower shared pest pressure in this family. Anchor it in the Tree layer and pair with unrelated support species in other layers; if you save seed from multiple cultivars, isolate flowering plants to reduce accidental crosses within the family.
