Fynbos, native to the Cape Floral Kingdom of South Africa, is more than just a symbol of biodiversity—it’s also a favourite for florists and flower enthusiasts worldwide. Here’s why Fynbos is perfect for cut flower arrangements:


1. Long Vase Life

Fynbos flowers, such as Proteas, Leucadendrons, and Pincushions, are known for their durability. Their woody stems and robust blooms retain their beauty longer than many other flowers, ensuring your arrangements last up to a week or even more.


2. Unique Beauty and Texture

Each Fynbos species offers a distinct charm, from the bold, spiky Pincushion to the soft, velvety texture of Blushing Brides. Their variety in size, shape, and colour adds depth and interest to any bouquet.


3. Versatility

Fynbos blooms are incredibly versatile, blending seamlessly with other flowers or standing out as statement pieces on their own. Their natural earthy tones and unusual shapes make them ideal for modern and rustic arrangements alike.


4. Eco-Friendly Appeal

FreshCap’s fynbos flowers are sustainably grown and harvested, making them an environmentally friendly choice for conscious consumers. They celebrate the beauty of nature while supporting biodiversity.
