Leucadendron Cumosum
Leucadendron Cumosum presents compact, cone-like heads in warm red tones with fine, needle-like foliage, adding texture and colour to large-scale bouquets and wholesale floral lines. With durable stems and reliable vase performance, it is well-suited to bulk export programmes.
Leucadendron Cumosum (Leucadendron teretifolium) is appreciated for its small rounded cones that display soft green bases maturing to rich red tips. The slender, pine-like foliage enhances texture and volume, making it a popular filler for bouquet production, mass-market floral programmes, seasonal promotions, and straight-line wholesale bunches. This South African species is cultivated by 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.
- Lead times and freight rates vary by destination.
- All products are subject to seasonal availability, please contact us for current availability, pricing and export options.
- Bulk pricing available for large-volume orders; minimum order quantities apply.
- Dedicated export solutions with competitive freight arrangements.
