Protea Pink Lady (Protea compacta × Protea neriifolia) is an exquisite South African hybrid grown under exacting standards in the Western Cape. Its medium‐sized flower heads feature softly curved, rose‐pink outer bracts tipped with silvery hairs, encasing a gently domed centre crowned in deep charcoal fringe. Paired with broad, leathery olive‐green foliage, Pink Lady delivers an elegant pastel palette and sculptural form. This variety brings refined seasonal colour and architectural interest to high‐volume bouquets and large‐scale retail displays during the cooler months.

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.
