Geraldton Wax Early Nir (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is valued for its early-season flowering window, producing sprays of delicate pink flowers with contrasting darker buds. Native to Western Australia but cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier network, Early Nir offers buyers an advance option for waxflower programmes. Its reliable performance and pastel tones make it a versatile filler for supermarket floral ranges, mass-market bouquets, straight-line bunches, and seasonal retail promotions.

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
