Leucadendron Chameleon (Leucadendron salignum × Leucadendron eucalyptifolium) is valued for its distinctive colour transition, beginning with vivid green bracts that gradually blush red toward the tips. This makes it an adaptable product across seasons, offering both fresh greenery and warm-toned highlights in a single stem. Its textured foliage and evolving tones make it well-suited for mass-market bouquets, seasonal promotions, wholesale straight-line bunches, and retail floral lines. This South African hybrid is cultivated by our supplier farms in the Western Cape and produced to export standards.

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.
