Geraldton Wax Dancing Queen (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a distinctive waxflower cultivar featuring semi-double to double blooms with a textured, ruffled appearance. Its petals open in delicate lilac to pale pink shades, softening to pastel tones as they mature. Native to Western Australia but cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms, Dancing Queen stands out for its novelty flower form and volume. It is especially suited to wedding assortments, seasonal retail floral promotions, supermarket bouquet programmes, and straight-line bunches where differentiation and texture are key.

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
