Honeybush
Honey Bush (Tetraria involucrata) offers tall, reed-like stems with clusters of golden-brown seed heads that add height and natural texture. Hardy, long-lasting, and well-suited for bulk floral programmes, it is a reliable export foliage.
Tetraria involucrata, commonly known as Honey Bush, is an indigenous South African restio foliage that provides vertical structure and a warm, earthy tone to floral designs. Its slender green stems are topped with honey-coloured, papery seed clusters that create movement and visual interest. Cultivated in South Africa, Honey Bush is especially valued by wholesalers and mass-market retailers as a versatile filler foliage. It is used in large-scale bouquets, straight-line bunches, supermarket floral ranges, and seasonal promotions that require durable, textural accents.
