It is widely distributed in the southwestern and southern parts of South Africa in the fynbos region.\nThis unusual flower has a long vase life in flower arrangements, and makes for an excellent dried flower.\nProtea cynaroides is adapted to survive wildfires by its thick underground stem, which contains many dormant buds; these will produce the new growth after the fire.$
