Geraldton Wax Sexy Ice (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a refined waxflower cultivar that showcases pure white petals with subtle green centres, giving stems a crisp, elegant look. Though native to Western Australia, it is cultivated in South Africa through OZ Flora’s supplier farms to meet export demand. This variety’s neutral tones make it highly versatile for supermarket floral programmes, straight-line bunches, wedding collections, and seasonal promotions, particularly where fresh, light fillers are required to balance more colourful flowers.

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
