Protea cordata, commonly known as Cordata Leaves, is grown in South Africa and valued for its distinctive, heart-shaped foliage. Each leaf features a green base that shifts into red along the margins, adding depth and seasonal warmth to bouquets. Cordata Leaves are especially suited for bouquet fillers, large-scale retail floral lines, and promotional ranges where bold foliage form and colour variation are desired. Their sculptural shape makes them versatile across bouquet designs, pairing well with both textured fillers and large focal flowers.

Quality & Handling

• Harvested with an emphasis on leaf size, colour intensity, and stem strength to ensure uniform grading
• Post-harvest cold-chain handling maintains the rich tones and prevents wilting
• Vase life generally ranges between 10–14 days, with foliage holding colour and firmness well under retail conditions
• For optimal performance, re-cut stems on arrival and hydrate in clean water with preservative
