Geraldton Wax Bari (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is distinguished by its dense flowering habit, with small cup-shaped flowers in bright pink tones offset by dark centres. Grown locally in South Africa, though native to Western Australia, this variety is well-suited for use in supermarket floral lines, large-scale mixed bouquets, seasonal promotions, and straight-line bunches. With its strong colour saturation and branching density, Bari adds both volume and texture to retail-ready floral programmes.

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
