Christmas Bush

Ceratopetalum gummiferum

NSW Christmas Bush flower in September and have numerous small white flowers with petal-like bracts. However, they are not suitable as cut flowers at this time due to their short vase life. Over the next few months, the fertilised flowers undergo a major change, where the bracts expand and become bright red resulting in the bushes having red 'flowers' and glossy dark green leaves at the start of summer.  This makes them ideal for use in Christmas flower arrangements. In addition to the red varieties, we have a rare coral pink variety which is perfect for early summer wedding bouquets.

Christmas Bush from our farm is ready for cutting from early November until mid-December. We have a number of varieties which lets us harvest this product over an extended period as each variety matures at a different time. One of our most popular lines, it is recommended that you place your orders early to secure your supply for Christmas.

Typical vase life: 5 days+
