Geraldton Wax Gil
Geraldton Wax Gil produces white flowers with bright yellow-green centres and contrasting red buds, creating strong visual appeal in bouquets and floral lines. With dependable vase life and stem consistency, it is a versatile filler for bulk retail and supermarket floral programmes.
Geraldton Wax Gil (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a standout waxflower variety featuring crisp white petals highlighted by vibrant green-yellow centres and striking red buds that open gradually through the season. Native to Western Australia but cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms, Gil offers a colour-contrasting filler option that adds both freshness and depth to mixed bouquets. Its distinctive look and branching volume make it suitable for supermarket floral ranges, straight-line bunches, seasonal retail promotions, and large-scale bouquet fillers.
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
