Waxflower My Sweet 16

Waxflower My Sweet 16 brings a soft color story to floral work, with bi-colored blooms that start white and blush into deep pink or crimson as they mature. This gradual color shift adds a natural gradient effect to bouquets and arrangements, especially when stems are cut at varying bloom stages. Each stem is airy and lightly branched, typically stretching to 60–70 cm in length, with clean lines that work well in hand-tied bouquets and larger event pieces. The waxy petals hold their shape even after transport, making it a reliable choice for florists who need both beauty and durability.

A Late-Season Variety

It’s a late-season variety, which means it comes into its own when other filler flowers might be slowing down, around late spring into early summer, depending on the region. Vase life is solid, and the flowers pair easily with soft pastels or can contrast nicely with bold focal blooms. The branching gives nice volume without overpowering other elements in a design. Whether you're building wedding florals, sympathy work, or seasonal retail bouquets, My Sweet 16 adds a light, floral rhythm that's easy to work with and holds up well across the supply chain

Chamelaucium

Waxflowers, also known as Chamelaucium, are sturdy and strong flowers that give floral arrangements a boost with the never-ending beauty in each petal.
