Geraldton Wax Sexy Gem (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a standout cultivar, producing abundant clusters of vibrant pink to purple blooms with contrasting deeper centres. Native to Western Australia but grown in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms, Sexy Gem is highly valued for its colour saturation and full flowering habit. Its vivid tones make it ideal for supermarket floral ranges, straight-line bunches, wedding assortments, and mass-market bouquets. This variety performs especially well in seasonal promotions and festive retail programmes where bright fillers enhance bouquet presentation.

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
