Protea Ruby Princess (Protea magnifica) is cultivated by expert growers in South Africa’s Western Cape. The cultivar features striking, deep-ruby outer bracts that cup around a dense, velvety-black central tuft, all set atop robust, straight stems. Complemented by lush, grey-green foliage, Ruby Princess provides a bold, sculptural focal point in large-scale bouquets and 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.
