Mimetes Hirtus
Mimetes hirtus displays bold cone-like flower heads with fiery red and yellow bracts tipped in white, offering dramatic colour contrast and structural form. With reliable grading, durable stems and good vase life, it is a standout filler and feature for bulk floral exports.
Mimetes hirtus is a rare South African endemic belonging to the Proteaceae family, admired for its vivid bracts of red and yellow tipped with fine white hairs. Its cone-shaped flower heads and leathery green foliage create striking visual impact, making it equally suited as a filler or feature stem. Locally grown in South Africa, Mimetes hirtus is ideal for premium floral ranges, seasonal promotions, large-scale bouquets, and straight-line bunches where bold colour and texture are required.
