Geraldton Wax Ofir (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a clean, classic waxflower variety featuring masses of small white flowers with pale green centres. Originally native to Western Australia, it is now cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms for global wholesale markets. Its neutral tones and high flower density make it a popular choice for supermarket floral lines, straight-line bunches, mass-market bouquets, wedding assortments, and seasonal promotions, especially spring and festive collections where bright filler foliage is required.

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
