The king protea is the national flower of South Africa.
It also is the flagship of the Protea Atlas Project, run by the South African National Botanical Institute.

The king protea has several colour forms and horticulturists have recognized 81 garden varieties,
some of which have injudiciously been planted in its natural range.

In some varieties the pink of the flower and red borders of leaves are replaced by a creamy yellow.
