Geraldton Wax Erez (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a vibrant waxflower variety known for its dense sprays of mid-pink flowers, often accented with slightly deeper tones at the centre. Cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms, though native to Western Australia, Erez offers a strong colour impact and reliable uniformity. Its branching habit and floral volume make it a valuable filler across supermarket floral programmes, straight-line bunches, mass-market bouquets, 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
