Leucadendron Ruby Globe (Leucadendron strictum) is distinguished by its neatly rounded cones that mature into rich ruby-red shades, accentuated by narrow green leaves. The colour contrast provides both depth and texture, making it an excellent option for bouquet fillers, wholesale bunches, and mass-market floral ranges. Cultivated in South Africa’s Western Cape by our supplier farms, Ruby Globe is produced to export-grade standards for consistency and dependable availability.

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.
