Protea Julia (Protea loriflora × Protea magnifica) is a captivating South African hybrid grown under strict quality standards in the Western Cape. Its compact, ovoid flower heads display richly coloured rose-pink outer bracts fringed in delicate white hairs, surrounding a soft, downy centre. Julia brings dependable form, pastel-accented colour and sculptural elegance to large-scale bouquets and retail displays in the heart of spring.

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 and straightness, and leaf quality—ensuring consistent supply across bulk consignments.
• Expected vase life of 14–21 days when conditioned by: re-cutting stems underwater at a sharp angle on arrival, hydrating promptly in clean water, and refreshing every 2–3 days. Refresh water with floral preservative every 2–3 days for optimal performance.
• Ethylene Sensitivity: Low, making it ideal for long-distance export and extended display.
