Geraldton Wax Solar
Geraldton Wax Solar features soft pastel blooms ranging from pale pink to lilac, adding delicate colour and fullness to arrangements. With sturdy stems, reliable grading, and consistent shipping performance, it is well-suited for bouquet programmes, supermarket floral lines, and seasonal ranges.
Geraldton Wax Solar (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a graceful waxflower cultivar, presenting light pink to lilac-toned flowers that create a soft and airy visual appeal. Originally native to Western Australia, it is cultivated in South Africa by OZ Flora’s supplier farms for international export. Its pastel palette makes it ideal for supermarket floral programmes, spring promotions, straight-line bunches, and bouquet fillers where a light, complementary accent is required. Solar’s heavy flowering habit and consistent colouration make it a popular filler across retail floral lines.
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
- Lead times and freight rates vary by destination.
