Geraldton Wax Pearl Buttons (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a distinctive cultivar named for its abundance of small, button-like flowers that open creamy-white from pale buds. Native to Western Australia but cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms, this variety is prized for its dense flowering habit and clean colour palette. Its high bud-to-flower ratio makes it particularly suitable for supermarket floral ranges, straight-line bunches, mass-market bouquets, wedding assortments, and seasonal promotions where compact filler with texture and brightness 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 is typically 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
