31 locations for FlowerTrials visitors in June.

More than 60 plant breeders at 31 locations in The Netherlands and Germany will open their doors in June for FlowerTrials 2019 to exhibit the latest pot and bedding plants.

 

Three new participants will join the FlowerTrials this year (11–14 June):

 

  • AllPlant Young Plants roots and grows young plants from tissue-culture for delivery to professional growers. Specialists in Echinacea, Heuchera and Phlox, its catalogue comprises more than 500 innovative varieties from various breeders. 
  • Belgium-based DeCock Plants is a well-known international producer of young plants with a rooting station at their home base and mother plant facilities in Ethiopia. The company has its own breeding program in Lavandula, Osteospermum and Poinsettia.
  • Ramm Botanicals/Kalantzis Plants is an Australian/Greek joint venture in the breeding and young plant production of Anigozanthos (Kangaroo Paw), Lomanda, Dianella and other Australian Native plants.

 

Previous exhibitors Thompson & Morgan, Bock Bio Science and Cultivaris have announced they will not participate in 2019.

 

This year’s FlowerTrials sees a new cluster at FN Kempen in Mijdrecht (area Aalsmeer) where new participants DeCock and AllPlant will exhibit together with Kientzler, who in addition to their main location in Germany will also welcome visitors in The Netherlands.

 

Ramm Botanicals/Kalantzis Plants will join the Royal van Zanten cooperation in Aalsmeer.

 

Exhibitors at the World Horti Centre are meanwhile all changing location with Queen and Van den Bos sharing with Sakata at the Demokwekerij Westland Zwethlaan and Schoneveld partnering with Selecta one and VWS Flower Bulbs at Nursery P. van Geest. Prudac and DHMI will also join this cluster, making five exhibitors. Dümmen Orange has announced that they will be moving from Westland to Aalsmeer to their own location in De Kwakel.

Visitors are encouraged to consult the FlowerTrials website www.flowertrials.com for a detailed overview and planner calculating a route around the 31 locations.
