Leucadendron Blush (Leucadendron salignum) displays deep burgundy to plum tones with dusky olive-green outer bracts and linear green leaves, intensifying towards the centre. Locally grown in South Africa by approved supplier farms, it is ideal for large-scale bouquets, mass-market retail floral lines, straight-line bunches, colour-themed promotions, and as a structural foliage-texture in premium mixed bouquets.

Quality & Handling

• All stems are cut at the correct maturity with consistent lengths, tight grading, and clean foliage. Bracts and cones are checked for uniform colour and integrity.
• Field heat is removed immediately after harvest through cold-shock, and product is maintained under an unbroken cold-chain from farm to freight.
• Vase life is typically 12–18 days, extended to 21 days when handled optimally; re-cut stems by 2–3 cm at a sharp angle, remove any foliage below the waterline, and place in clean buckets with fresh water or preservative solution.
• Hydrate for at least 4–6 hours before onward distribution or display.
• Not strongly ethylene-sensitive, but chronic exposure shortens vase life and reduces market quality.
