Leucadendron Sand Dollar (Leucadendron salignum x Leucadendron eucalyptifolium) is a distinctive hybrid named for its circular, coin-like bracts that tightly surround its cones. The bracts present in a fresh green base colour, transitioning to yellow-green with fine red edging, giving it a crisp, decorative appearance. Its compact size and tidy growth habit make Sand Dollar a particularly uniform product that is easy to grade and ideal for consistent presentation across bulk programs. This hybrid is highly adaptable for export markets, supplying the bouquet industry, supermarket floral programs, and large-scale wholesale buyers who demand filler stems with both colour and structure.

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.
