Bell Reed Male
Bell Reed Male offers tall, slender stems with distinctive seed bracts that add structure and movement to bouquets. Known for its durability and consistency, it is a reliable filler for bulk retail floral lines and export programmes.
Bell Reed Male (Cannomois virgata) is a South African reed variety with upright, grass-like stems accented by tight, cone-shaped male bracts. Its colour ranges from mid to deep green with golden-brown highlights at the bract tips. The linear form makes it highly suited to straight-line bunches, large-scale bouquet fillers, and structured retail floral lines. Native to the Cape Floristic Region, Bell Reed is cultivated by local farms for consistent export supply.
