Leucospermum Scarlet Ribbon
Leucospermum Scarlet Ribbon shows a distinctive frosted look: coral to red-orange pins tipped yellow over dense silvery tufting and a compact, rounded head. Strong, export-grade stems with uniform grading and dependable vase performance support high-volume retail programmes and long-haul export.
Leucospermum Scarlet Ribbon (Leucospermum glabrum × Leucospermum tottum) presents a multi-tone palette from coral and salmon to scarlet, with bright yellow pollen presenters and obvious silvery hairs on the perianths that create a two-tone “ribboned” effect as the head opens. Intended use: straight-line bunches, large-scale mixed bouquets, mass-market retail floral lines, and seasonal red-orange colour promotions. Native to South Africa and grown locally by our supplier partners in the Western Cape for export.
