Breeding amaryllis

The breeding of Amaryllis has at N.L. van Geest B.V. a long history. The company has been active from an Amaryllis breeding collective since 1981 and was obtained over Splash®, Ferrari® and the Multiflora series, among others.

In 2002 the breeding was by N.L. Van Geest completely taken into their own hands from the course aimed at an assortment with exclusive Amaryllissen. This has led to, for example, the price -winning types of Spartacus®, Yellow Star®, Evergreen® and the double -flowered Amadeus series.

The development of a new variety of Amaryllis takes 10 years

The investment in the development of new varieties including the corresponding breeders’ rights, conducting a wide exclusive range and disease -free production is expensive. The breeding of Amaryllis requires a lot of patience and has a duration of no less than 10 years before a new variety is commercial market.

The production phase and scaling phase to realize sales volume also take a number of years. It is therefore difficult to deliver tailor -made work in the wide range that is N.L. van Geest carries and steer on annual volumes.
