Geraldton Wax Ayelet (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is characterised by its delicate colour range, transitioning from creamy white to soft pink as the flowers mature. Native to Western Australia but cultivated locally in South Africa, Ayelet is grown through OZ Flora’s supplier network for export markets. The pastel tones make it highly versatile, fitting well into spring assortments, wedding collections, supermarket floral ranges, and as a filler in large-scale bouquets. It also works effectively in straight-line bunches where softer hues are desired.

Quality & Handling

• Cut and graded to export standard under strict cold-chain management; stems are selected for length, straightness, and branching uniformity with clean foliage and vibrant flower colour
• Expected vase life of 7–10 days under standard conditions; with optimal hydration and hygiene may last up to 12–14 days
• Re-cut stems by 2–3 cm at an angle and place immediately into clean, sanitised buckets of fresh water with a hydration solution or floral preservative to assist uptake; woody stems can be slow to rehydrate if untreated
• Allow at least 4–6 hours of conditioning before onward distribution or use
• Moderately ethylene sensitive — exposure may trigger petal shatter and leaf drop, so ethylene protection is advised during shipping and storage
