Protea African Didi
Protea African Didi boasts large, soft-pink bracted cones with dark-tipped bracts, offering sturdy stems and a long vase life—ideal for straight-line bunches, mass-market retail floral lines and winter–spring–early summer seasonal promotions.
Protea African Didi (Protea magnifica) is a premier South African cultivar grown under exacting standards in the Western Cape. Its generously sized flower heads feature pale rose-pink inner bracts edged in deep burgundy, creating a sculptural focal point in high-volume bouquets. This variety delivers consistent quality, bold form, and broad seasonal appeal to large-scale retail offerings.
Quality & Handling
- Cut at peak maturity when inner bracts begin to unfurl, then immediately cooled to 4 °C to preserve peak freshness.
- Maintained under a continuous cold-chain, with rigorous grading for head size, stem length, straightness, and leaf quality—ensuring consistent supply across bulk consignments.
- Expected vase life of 14–21 days when conditioned properly: re-cut stems underwater at a sharp angle on arrival, hydrate promptly in clean water, and refresh every 2–3 days. Use floral preservative during refreshes to optimise performance.
- Ethylene Sensitivity: Low, making it ideal for long-distance export and extended display.
