Protea Lancelot (Protea compacta × Protea susannae) is a standout hybrid grown under exacting standards in South Africa’s Western Cape. Its medium-sized flower heads display deep pink outer bracts subtly edged in ivory, surrounding a dense central dome of muted cream. Lancelot brings vibrant late-summer colour, robust stem strength and sculptural form to high-volume bouquets and large-scale retail displays.

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.
