Protea Nana (Protea nana) is a charming South African native cultivated under stringent standards in the Western Cape. Its small, urn-shaped cones boast deep maroon outer bracts that contrast beautifully with its soft, needle-like green foliage. Nana brings delicate colour accents and fine, airy 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.
