Horticultu­ralist Hortic Jamie Durie advises advis on the perfect floral al centrepiec­e cent for your Christmas Chr table. “Use anything from the Protea Pro family,” Jamie says. “They’re very tough, to they’re very hardy, and they’re native to South Africa so they’re drought tolerant. T They’re quite rigid so the flower will live in the vase for two to three weeks. And they’ll give y you lots of red and white flowers, which is g good for Christmas.”
