Kula is renowned for its flowers, especially carnations, chrysanthemums and the exotic protea. The University of Hawai‘i's Maui Agricultural Research Center, off Copp Road on Mauna Place, is a noted protea research and development facility. The first plants were imported from Australia in 1965. Today there are more than 60 nurseries raising protea. The research center's grounds are open to the public; restrooms are not available.
