Geraldton Wax Vega (Chamelaucium uncinatum) is a bold waxflower cultivar recognised for its strong, vibrant pink colouring and dense flower set. Originally native to Western Australia, it is grown in South Africa through OZ Flora’s partner farms for consistent export supply. Its striking colour density and clustered flowering make it especially suited for mass-market bouquets, supermarket floral programmes, straight-line bunches, and seasonal retail promotions where visual intensity is key.

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
