Cultivation
Professional cultivation for targeted customer demand
Cultivation with control, quality, and continuity
With our own cultivation facility, we maintain control over quality and production. This ensures strong lily bulbs and allows us to respond flexibly to our customers’ demand.
Cultivation at De Jong Lelies
Cultivation forms an important part of our organization. By producing our own cultivars ourselves, we maintain full control over quality and development. It enables us to create a healthy foundation for our lilies, from bulb to finished product, and to see directly how a variety performs in practice.
Growth in cultivation capacity for flexible, customer-oriented production
The expansion of our cultivation activities, including through the acquisition of Ruiter Bloembollen, has further strengthened our company. Where we once started on a small scale, today we cultivate on dozens of hectares. This scale enables us to produce in a targeted manner and respond flexibly to our customers’ wishes.
Development
Thanks to our cultivation in New Zealand, we can supply customers with a fresh product year-round.
Production in the eastern Netherlands and processing in Andijk
The majority of our production takes place in the east of the Netherlands. In provinces such as Drenthe, Overijssel, and Friesland, fertile soils and favorable climatic conditions ensure high-quality lilies. After the harvest, the bulbs are carefully processed in our facilities in Andijk, where quality and care are paramount.
Year-round supply via cultivation in New Zealand
To be able to supply fresh produce year-round, we also have cultivation sites in New Zealand. Here, we primarily grow Orientals and OT hybrids, varieties that are more susceptible to storage. This international diversification allows us to supply continuously and remain flexible towards the market.
De Jong Lilies. We create lilies.
In addition to our own cultivation, we collaborate with carefully selected growers. With partners who maintain high quality standards, we are building a reliable and complete assortment. These long-term partnerships ensure continuity, flexibility, and trust.
With cultivation as a solid foundation, we continue to build on quality, availability, and progress. In this way, we supply lily bulbs that our customers worldwide can count on.
