Platyspermum is an indigenous South African foliage variety recognised for its firm, spatula-shaped leaves that create dense, uniform bunches. The foliage is typically bright green with seasonal flushes of copper or bronze edging, adding depth and visual appeal. Grown locally by South African suppliers, Platyspermum is widely used in straight-line bunches, mixed bouquet fillers, and retail floral programmes. Its structured form and lasting freshness make it a dependable choice for bulk and large-scale floral ranges.

Quality & Handling

• Harvested to strict post-harvest standards, Platyspermum is cooled rapidly and maintained in a cold-chain to preserve leaf colour and turgidity.
• Stems are graded for consistency in length and density, ensuring reliable supply for high-volume export orders.
• Vase life is approximately 12–16 days with correct handling.
• To optimise performance, re-cut stems on arrival, hydrate in fresh water, and refresh solutions regularly.
• Woody stems may benefit from splitting or lightly crushing the base to improve hydration.
