Chartreuse Sugarbush Protea
South Africa's other national flower. Just as extraordinary.
Build Your Floral Wall With These:
Designed to cluster naturally, like a wild garden. Choose a flower as your design anchor, then grow your custom floral wall with these companions:
Protea meaning draws on transformation and diversity, fitting for a plant genus old enough to have outlasted several geological ages without significantly changing its approach. Our Chartreuse Sugarbush Protea keeps that same prehistoric, slightly alien structure that makes proteas instantly recognizable from across a crowded room. Fresh sugarbush protea can hold for two to three weeks once cut, unusually long for a fresh flower, though still a finite window once it's removed from the plant entirely. Ceramic removes the countdown completely, holding the same bold form indefinitely with no water and no wilting to manage. Mount it where a room needs one confident, sculptural object rather than a cluster of smaller competing pieces. Artisans shape these pieces by hand at Chive Ceramics Studio, layering each individual bract before the glaze goes on. Chive pieces are carried by the Detroit Institute of Arts gift shop, chosen for a form that holds up next to considerably older art.

Wall hanging
Works on drywall, plaster, or wood panelling. Drive a small screw at a slight upward angle, leaving the head proud of the wall. Slide the keyhole slot on the back over the screw head, adjust to level. Sits flush — no visible hardware.
No stud? No problem. A drywall anchor rated for the weight works fine.
Displaying a collection
Lay everything out on the floor first. Start with your anchor piece, build outward. Keep 2–3 inches between each piece and aim for the centre of the whole arrangement to land around eye level. Use painter's tape on the wall to map positions before committing to any screws.
Table & shelf display: Equally beautiful propped on a shelf, mantle, or side table. Pair with books, candles, or a small pot.
- Dust with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristled brush. Do not use wet cloths or liquid cleaners.
