Antirrhinum majus F1 Antirrhinum, or Snapdragon, is one of the most important summer cut flowers from seed world wide. It requires a cool growing temperature, and can be cultivated year-round or as an in-between crop. From planting to flowering the culture takes 10 to 24 weeks, depending on the cultivation method. The market share of Snapdragons could easily be improved by increasing the year-round supply to the flower trade or auction.

For Antirrhinum bred in the United States, a classification of the different series into groups was introduced, based on American climate zones. These groups represent the best cultivation period in the year. Translated into Northern European conditions, follow this classification as stated below. Group IV is suitable for both in- and outdoor planting.

Classification Group I

winter planting

(NL wk 44 - 52)

Group I – II

autumn planting

(NL wk 32 – 36)

Group II

Animation series I-II Animation is a renowned series for year round cut flower production. It is especially suited for cool greenhouse production, early in the season. The series has been developed under continental climatic conditions and is a very reliable crop.

Animation has long, well-built flower spikes on strong stems with only limited side-branching. The series is very uniform, 80-100 cm high and the different colours in the series have a very uniform flowering time. Like the Costa series, Animation is an excellent in-between cut flower crop as well.

Costa I-II The classification system as mentioned earlier is not quite applicable for our Costa series. Costa is versatile; it fits into various planting periods. It produces a solid, well-formed flower spike on a sturdy stem, even when light conditions are less favorable. This range has been bred under Dutch climatic conditions. It is a uniform, undemanding and reliable culture.

Brassica Oleracea F1 (Ornamental Cabbage)

Empire Series Many years of breeding have resulted in a top selection in Ornamental cabbage, valued for the following qualities, important to the grower: desirable stem length and disease tolerance. Thanks to the appealing appearance, the excellent keeping qualities and vase life, our Brassica gained popularity and has become an important ‘cut flower’ in the Netherlands.

We offer an unrevealing selection in our assortment; varieties with flat, wavy, curled, or fringed leaves, crop forming or waterlily -shaped heads, with interesting colour combinations, suitable for early or late culture. The presence of several bold Brassica ‘flower heads’ in a mixed bouquet or flower arrangement give the entire creation a more stunning, modern effect.

Retailers in the United Kingdom even offer mixed bouquets of just different types of Brassica.

All our cultivars have been selected for both cool greenhouse and outdoor production. They have a better tolerance to fungi such as like white mold (Sclerotinia) and clubroot (Mycosphaerella) than other varieties in the market. The stem easily reaches a length of 80 cm. Planting is possible from late winter until late summer (NL February to late August). By using different production methods, the size of the crop as well as the supply period can be significally influenced. A general indication is given below. Denser sowing or planting requires less leaf stripping and leads to a smaller size of the crop. Lower temperatures result in more intenser colouring.

Campanula Medium F1

Big Ben Series NEW Best assets of this striking new cut flower are the short cultivation period of 10 to 13 weeks after planting and the possibility of almost year round production, essential for large-scale supply to the market. Big Ben is rapidly becoming very popular.

Further Big Ben benefits are the tall stems of 60-70 cm topped with attractive, upward-facing bell-shaped flowers, uniform in growth, easily harvested, high-yielding as well as a very long vase life.

The Big Ben series withstands many different climatic conditions, although extreme cold and hot weather must be avoided.

In the young plant stage 8-hour short day conditions are required in order to secure sufficient stem length. When planted (6 to 8 weeks after sowing), the plants need 16-hour long days or supplemental lighting. Big Ben is suitable for both field and (unheated) greenhouse production and is harvested over a longer period.

Lisianthus Being the first in Europe to start breeding Lisianthus 18 years ago, we developed a splendid cut flower Lisianthus assortment, for year round production, for the home market and export.

Characteristics of our varieties: attractive flowers, sturdy stems, sufficient stem length, masses of flowers and buds in the top, reliability in the culture – also when grown in warmer regions. A wide range of types and colours is available as well as massive experience that we share with cut flower growers and consumers.

When grown in the Netherlands (with the right greenhouse – conditions, including intense assimilation lighting) the flowers are fully developed in 8 to 12 weeks after transplant. Height is approx. 75 cm. The right harvest stage is when 3 to 5 flowers are fully opened.

Classification The assortment has been divided into groups, indicating the most favourable production period. Under West European conditions and under ‘natural cultivation’ (without extra light) the classification is as follows: Group I

winter planting

(NL week 44 to week 8)

Group II

spring planting

(NL week 9 to week 26)

Group III

Tanacetum parthenium

Amazone and Baya Years of breeding and long experience with Tanacetum cultivation have led to these successful cut flower selections.

Two top varieties are Amazone and Baya which have proven themselves in the market. They are valued only for their attractive flowers, but even more for their ‘operational safety’. They produce a large number of first quality, uniform flower stems, have a better tolerance to disease and can thrive with less favourable climatic conditions.

Tanacetum can be grown year round, 5 to 6 crops per year, provided that assimilation light is available. It requires a minimum of 12 hours of light. The production period varies between 8 and 12 weeks from transplant.

Matthiola incana (Stock) Matthiola (Stock) is a cool weather cut flower with highly scented flower spikes in attractive colours on non-branched sturdy stems. Evanthia’s breeding of Matthiola is focussed on high quality strains suitable for both early and late plantings, thus extending supply to the florist market.

The Centum and Jordyn series are both perfect for production in the cooler (Dutch and West European) climate. They will do equally well in other cool regions in the world.

•

The Jordan series is bred for early to mid season plantings.

•

Centum performs best in winter and late season plantings.

•

The Coselja series is for summer plantings and cultivation in warm areas.

Culture For cool areas we recommend sowing to late spring at the latest (NL plant week 20-22) for harvesting mid summer (NL week 30). Too high temperatures and light intensity have a negative influence on the bud forming. For warmer regions, it is recommended sowing late summer for harvesting approx. 12 weeks later, or sowing in autumn for cutting late winter. For a long vase life the optimum cutting stage is when the first 4 to 5 flowers have opened.

Centum series Centum series performs well in winter to late spring plantings (NL plant week 6 - 22) for flowering in spring and early summer due to its higher tolerance to warmth and light intensity. Centum series is renowned for its well-built flower spikes, heavy stem quality and bright colour range.

Height is 60 cm.

Dianthus barbatus

Barbienne series Barbienne, a high class biennial series of Sweet William for cut flower productionseries. As to earliness and stem quality, Barbienne is comparable to Barbarella F1 hybrid. Consequently, it is one of the earliest series to flower in springtime. It is high yielding, cost effective series, has sufficient stem length (50-80 cm) and joyful colours.

Other important assets of Barbienne are the uniformity in flowering time and a the better tolerance to rust than compared to standard series. It requires cold for flower induction. Cut flower cultivation is mostly done in cool greenhouse or tunnel.

Outdoor culture, although it may be somewhat risky in early spring, is also possible. planting

Freesia hybrida

Royal Crown NEW Extra largeflowered, highly fragrant Freesia Royal Crown is available in bright colours. Rows of funnel-shaped flowers are borne on long, strong stems of approx. 45 cm. Suited both for cut flower production and ornamental plantings in large pots and flower beds.

In the second season from seed the flower stems will have sufficient length. In the first season flowering will be moderate and stems will be rather short. In colder climates Freesia is grown as indoor plants in containers or as temporary outdoor garden plants. If a mobile greenhouse is available, or if trays and pots are used, the culture of Freesia from seeds very often fits in with the crop planning.

Supply is in seeds, hence virusfree, which is a big advantage over vegetatively propagated material. Freesia is a half-hardy bulbous perennial that thrives in warm temperatures.
