Key features for florists
- Appearance and Color: 'Goblet' is named for its eye-catching, cup-shaped bracts, which are often mistaken for the flowers themselves. These bracts showcase a large, robust cone and feature colors ranging from vibrant greens to bright yellows, often with reddish tips or highlights. As the weather cools, the coloration can intensify and change, adding a dynamic quality to arrangements.
- Texture and Form: The plant offers a delightful combination of textures, from the smooth, almost sculptural quality of the bracts to the intricate cone-shaped blooms. As a plant, Leucadendron are known for their woody stems and stiff leaves that radiate outwards, creating an appealing structure and depth in arrangements.
- Size and Stem Count: Stems are typically long and sturdy, making them suitable for a variety of designs.
- Versatility in Floral Design:
- Line Material & Filler: 'Goblet' serves as an excellent line or transitional material in arrangements, creating height and visual interest. It can also function as a striking filler, especially in larger designs.
- Versatile Pairings: It harmonizes well with a variety of flowers, from soft roses to more sculptural options like Banksias and Proteas. Its bold colors make it ideal for fall arrangements, complementing burgundy roses and red hypericum.
- Adaptable for Various Settings: 'Goblet' is suitable for a wide range of uses, from bouquets and centerpieces to larger event and sympathy arrangements. It can be incorporated into tropical, traditional, and even wildflower-inspired designs.
- Longevity and Availability: Leucadendron in general are known for their impressive vase life, ranging from 7 to 21 days depending on the variety, according to Sierra Flower Finder. They are available year-round, although availability can fluctuate depending on the season, species, and cultivar. In areas like California, they are readily available from October to May, and in other regions such as Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand, from April to October.
- Special Care:
- Selection: Choose stems with vibrant, healthy bracts and avoid any with black spots or browning.
- Preparation: Strip foliage that will be submerged in water to prevent rot. Recut stems at a 45-degree angle and hydrate in a solution of water and floral food for at least two hours before storing or using, advises the Floral Design Institute.
- Storage: Store in a cool environment (2-4°C). Avoid overcrowding stems and direct heat sources.
- Water Management: Change water and floral food every two days to prevent leaf blackening.
'Goblet' adds drama, texture, and lasting beauty to floral compositions, making it a valuable asset for florists seeking to create memorable and long-lasting designs

Flower Care Steps – From Arrival to Use
Step 1: Unpack and Inspect
-
Unpack Promptly: Open your boxes as soon as they arrive and remove any straps or outer packaging such as foam or paper. Take photos of the box labels on the ends of the boxes showing the product name, NOT the fedex labels. This is crucial in the event of any quality or other product issues.
-
Inspect Your Greens: Look over your products for any concerns before continuing with processing.
Step 2: Prepare the Containers
-
Use Clean Buckets: Choose buckets or containers that are clean and free from soap residue or bacteria. Rinse with warm water if needed.
-
Add Water: Fill each container with at least 4 inches of fresh, cool water. If flower food is available, follow the packet directions and mix it in.
Step 3: Trim and Place in Water
-
Remove Packaging: Take off any rubber bands or plastic sleeves protecting the flowers.
-
Remove Foliage Below the Waterline: Strip any leaves that will fall below the waterline to prevent bacterial growth.
-
Trim the Stems: Use clean, sharp floral shears or scissors to cut about 1 inch off each stem at a diagonal under cool running water. Avoid using household scissors, which can crush the stems and limit water absorption.
-
Place Immediately: After trimming, place the stems directly into the prepared water.
Step 4: Hydrate and Maintain
-
Hydration Time: Allow your flowers or greenery to hydrate for at least 4 hours — 8 to 12 hours is ideal.
-
Monitor Water Levels: Flowers drink heavily when they first arrive, so check water levels frequently and refill as needed.
-
Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure each container has enough space for the amount of flowers or greens you're processing. Overcrowding can lead to damaged stems and leaves.
-
Storage Conditions: Store hydrated greenery in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight, heat, or drafts until you're ready to use it.
Step 5: Refresh and Use
-
Change Water Daily: Refresh the water every 24 hours to keep your greens fresh and bacteria-free until use.
