Phylica lasiocarpa, known in the trade as Cotton Bush, is native to South Africa and locally cultivated for the global cut flower market. Its distinctive woolly white clusters and textured green foliage give it a unique softness, making it an excellent filler in large-scale bouquets, mass-market retail floral lines, seasonal promotions, and straight-line bunches. Its durability and texture add both visual and tactile interest to floral designs.

Quality & Handling

• Harvested under cold-chain conditions to maintain natural softness and prevent discolouration.
• Stems are graded for uniformity in length and density of clusters.
• Vase life typically ranges from 10–14 days, though its ornamental qualities extend well beyond as it dries attractively.
• For optimal performance, re-cut stems on arrival, place in fresh, cool water, and refresh water every two days.
• Phylica’s naturally woolly texture helps retain its decorative appeal even as moisture levels reduce.
