Leucadendrons chart
To be successful in today's highly
competitive and fast changing environment, it's vital to be
receptive to new and different ideas and products.
This is particularly true in the floral world.
As floral artists/designers, it's important to expand our palettes
to encompass vibrant new materials that stimulate new approaches to floral creations.

There are a myriad of plant materials out that, although they may have been available
for ages, are only now being "discovered" by florists and the flower buying public.
They can add excitement to the design process and, at the same time, create additional sales and
profit opportunities. For filler purposes,
it's hard to beat the protea genus leucadendron. With over 70 known varieties,
it offers an almost endless diversity of filler materials.
The females of the genera are noted for their eye-catching
bracts and cones, while the males display a wide range of showy inflorescences.

Leucadendrons can provide background foliage, as tall as you
may require, to blend with or accent your featured blossoms. They're available as cupped or starry bracts, single or multi-headed forms and in
colors of silvery green, bright butter gold, and various shades of red, rosy pink and greens.

 |
All of these leucadendrons offer the
extra value of unusually long vase life. They'll look great for at least 10-12 days, and most
of them will continue to be decorative as they dry in tapestry shades of brown, pink, and mint yellow.
Those listed in the chart constitute the tip of the
iceberg as far as these plants are concerned.
Surprise and delight your clients with: Beautiful
blooms, interesting bracts, unique terminal cones, a rainbow of colors, superb
drying qualities, an exotic diversity of shapes, the best filler
|
greens in the world and the long (15 ft.)
and the short (6 ft.) of it - they last and last and last and last.
So reach out and expand your floral horizons with protea leucadendrons.
