Daoflowers is expanding its range and opening up a new line of business for its customers — exotic flowers from South Africa.
Two key representatives of South African flora are currently available for order — protea and leucospermum. These plants belong to the Protea family and are distinguished by their expressive inflorescence structure, exotic aesthetics, and high resilience, which makes them popular among professional florists and wholesale buyers around the world.
Due to South Africa's unique climate — mild winters, abundant sunshine, and moderate humidity — the region has become one of the centers for protea cultivation. Flowers grown in these conditions combine natural strength and decorative expressiveness. They are ideal for long-distance transport and maintain excellent quality throughout the entire logistics chain, which is especially important for international deliveries.
The protea is the national symbol of South Africa and one of the most recognizable exotic flowers in the world. Its large, sculptural inflorescences and unusual petal shapes attract attention and give floral arrangements a unique character.
The following protea varieties are currently available for order:
Each variety differs in shape, texture, and color palette.
Proteas are available in lengths from 40 to 80 cm, with the most common sizes being 50 and 60 cm, although some varieties can also be found in lengths of 70–80 cm.
Proteas are delivered in SJB boxes. The number of stems varies from 20 to 40, depending on the variety and length.
Leucospermum is another member of the protea family, known for its needle-like inflorescences, which add brightness and dynamism to bouquets. This flower is remarkably resilient and looks impressive both in single bouquets and in combination with other flowers.
The following varieties of leucospermum are currently available for order:
In addition, Leucospermum is available in several dyed varieties, allowing florists to expand their palette and select solutions for individual projects:
Leucospermum is available in lengths ranging from 40 to 70 cm, with 50–60 cm being the most common..
It is also packaged in SJB boxes, containing 90 to 120 stems depending on the variety and length.
It should be noted that the availability of specific varieties of protea and leucospermum may vary depending on the season and time of year. Some varieties are available year-round, while others are only available during certain months, due to natural flowering cycles and regional weather conditions.
Currently, protea and leucospermum are only available in single-variety boxes; mixed varieties are not yet available. It is recommended to plan your protea orders in advance, as picking and preparing these flowers requires additional time. Daoflowers managers are always ready to clarify the earliest date on which an order can be placed and which varieties are available for shipment.
Exotic flowers from South Africa have become a new addition to the Daoflowers range. The expansion of the line allows us to offer customers more variety and new items for orders. Proteas and leucospermums are a combination of natural perfection, resilience, and aesthetics that can market the individuality of any flower business.
