We have
established Australian plantations of Helix cut flower wax varieties at
Dandaragan in Western Australia and in the Gippsland and Grampians regions of
Victoria. These three sites have been chosen for climatic suitability, soil
conditions and also flowering period – thus providing the export and local cut
flower trade with an extended 6 month Australian flowering season. Our
Dandaragan plantation commences harvest of Waxflower Moonlight Delight in mid
July and we expect to finish up with our late varieties such as My sweet 16 and
Pearl Buttons at our Victorian sites in early December.
Cassie
Erceg, Export Sales Manager Wafex said customer feedback from the Helix cut
flower varieties was very positive in 2012.
“….Our
customers all liked the excellent vase life, minimal tipping/by pass growth and
also the good flower density density in the Helix range….Demand was strong
across all the Helix varieties but in particular Moonligh Delight, My Sweet 16
and Sarah’s Delight were highly sought after and we look forward to accessing
increasing volumes in the coming seasons…”
