Fynbos and Protea discussion response:
New York USDA Zone - julie June 30, 2001
In response to Q: Climate in New York - Julie, June 21, 2001 :
- Dear Nicky
I have found a map with the USDA zones on it and it seems you are Zone 6 - Proteas generally grow comfortably in USDA zone 8 - which doesn't get as cold as zone 6.
There are however a couple of exceptions to this rule - unfortunately, the only seeds I can get where the species is said to able to grow in Zone 6, is Protea Subvestita.
There are others which you may want to try - which although don't specifically say they can grow in zone 6 - they are listed as Frost tolerant:
Protea Repens
Protea Eximia
Protea Grandiceps
Protea Punctata
Protea Magnifica
Leucadendron Salignum
Leucadendron Eucalyptifolium
Leucadendron Salcifolium
Leucospermum Catherinae
Hope this is helpful.
Julie
