Zuluflora - Grower of Blushing Bride
Zuluflora uses its experience to perfectly identify the best areas to grow certain varieties. For example, Blushing Brides are better suited to the dry arid Western Cape.
Neil Hall, a grower of Protea Blushing Bride shares:
"I always knew from a young age I wanted to work outdoor. And being on a farm is most definitely something I treasure. The people who work and live on our farm have become part of our family and of our daily life. When I think back on the beginnings of Zuluflora, one of the things that stood out to me was the unity. I realized that when I could get together with some like-minded growers, this unity is really a strength. That has been proven for me over these last three or four years."
