Protea Lady Pearl (Protea magnifica × Protea burchelli) is a refined South African hybrid grown under stringent quality standards in the Western Cape. Its medium flower heads showcase ivory‐cream outer bracts crowned by a contrasting dark‐chocolate frilled rim, accentuated by slender, glossy foliage. Lady Pearl brings reliable form, elegant two‐tone colour and sculptural texture to high‐volume bouquets and large‐scale retail displays during the winter–spring transition.

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, hydrate promptly in clean water, and refresh 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.
