Leucospermum Ayoba® Mandarin Zest™
Leucospermum Ayoba Mandarin Zest shows saturated mandarin-orange pincushion heads with fine red “ribbons” and neat yellow tips on a rounded, uniform profile. Export-grade stems, reliable grading and strong vase performance make it a safe choice for high-volume retail programmes and long-haul export.
Leucospermum Ayoba® Mandarin Zest™ (Leucospermum cordifolium × Leucospermum glabrum) has vivid mandarin to orange-red styles with subtle red banding and bright yellow pollen presenters, set around a fresh green centre; heads open from domed to evenly rounded. Intended uses include straight-line bunches, large-scale mixed bouquets, mass-market retail floral lines, and warm orange promotional ranges. This hybrid is grown locally in South Africa by our supplier farms.
