We use classic plant breeding methodes for breeding new plant varieties.

We start with common varieties (commercially available) or with our own selected plants. The plants are pollinated by insects, bees & bumblebees. Depending on the type of plant, a controlled environment is used. After pollination, we let the plants bloom so that the plants can produce seeds. When the seeds are ripe, we collect and clean them manually.

The following year, the seed is sown in seed trays. After germination, the seedlings are planted in cultivation trays. Which gives each plant more room to grow. When the roots are well developed, the liners are planted in containers or in open ground. After which the plants are grown into full-fledged plants.

Potential promising plants are selected on the basis of selection criteria. The selected plants are tested for several years. Testing takes place at our nursery in the Netherlands, but also at other nurseries throughout Europe. Ultimately, only the best plant varieties come onto the market.
