Protea Basket with Eucalyptus – Large

Our fresh protea baskets are handmade and consist of our leucadendron proteas as well as baby blue eucalyptus. These dryable arrangements can be expected to last on average about 2-4 years, however, they have been kept upwards of 8 years by many of our long-term customers. They last as long as they do for several reasons, one reason is the VARIETALS of the flowers that we use, and the second reason is the tint that we give the leucadendrons. Leucadendron proteas are exceptional dried flowers, meaning that in the absence of maintenance and water, they naturally dry and maintain both their coloration and structure for weeks to come. In an effort to combat the inevitable color loss that comes after several weeks of being a dried flower, we seal in the coloration and vibrance of the fresh protea baskets by tinting the stems of the leucadendron protea with a non-toxic floral spray, this also helps us to give the arrangement the color schemes you have seen. The eucalyptus naturally dries and maintains its coloration very well and does not brown, thus why we leave it in its natural state.
