Expect 7 to 10 days of life for the fynbos and proteas, with the eucalyptus and waxflower drying gracefully on the stem after that, so the jar keeps decorating the room for weeks.

It includes proteas, leucadendrons, ericas, restios, berzelia, waxflower and thousands of other indigenous Cape species.

Fynbos in a Jar is a wider Cape fynbos mix, with proteas as the focal but berzelia, leucadendron, waxflower, eucalyptus and seasonal Cape foliage doing equal work. Fynbos in a Jar reads as a wild, gathered Cape posy.
