Flower Bulbs, Our Nature Since 1926

The love for flower bulbs is deeply rooted at Kapiteyn. For four generations, everything we do has revolved around this beautiful product. We develop new varieties, we grow the best of the best and we have a strong trading network. Flower bulbs are in our nature.

Each part of the process requires its own direction. Kapiteyn Breeding bv brings us to the cradle of a new Captain Calla, while bulbs are propagated under the name Kapiteyn Horticulture bv. We package and trade finish products for retail with Kapiteyn bv or our products end up with growers and collectors via Kapiteyn Captain Calla bv.

We manage the first three steps in this chain ourselves. That is our strength. That is why we can truly say: Flower Bulbs, Our Nature!
