Flower Bulbs, Our Nature Since 1926

We have been engaged in developing, cultivating and marketing flower bulbs for four generations.

Flower bulbs are in our nature! We know all about it. At the start of a new Captain Calla (Kapiteyn breeding bv), to propagation at our own nursery (Kapiteyn horticulture bv) and ultimately packaging and marketing for retail (Kapiteyn bv), or delivery to growers (Kapiteyn captain calla bv).

We manage the first three steps in the chain ourselves – that is our strength. So we can truly say, Flower Bulbs, Our Nature!
