Cut Flowers
We cultivate premium cut flowers including tulips, hyacinths, and sunflowers using soil-based growing methods that enhance stem strength and vase life. Our 328,000-square-foot greenhouse facilities produce over 70 million blooms annually from September through May. Each harvest undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure superior floral presentation and longevity for commercial florists and retailers.
Potted Plants
Our potted plant offerings include 4" to 10" containers with tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils available December-May. We grow seasonal mixed planters and specialty items like 6" tulip tins and 10" urn drop-ins. These pre-planted options provide wholesale customers with ready-to-sell decorative solutions for holiday and spring markets.
