Originally focusing on vegetable cultivation in Honselersdijk, the business expanded and started with Freesia cultivation in 1956.

Today, with a rich history spanning generations, Lugt Lisianthus continues to uphold its legacy of excellence, providing premium flowers to customers worldwide.

Process

We’ve had the privilege of witnessing the process behind growing Lisianthuses. It all begins with seeds from Japan. In The Netherlands, these seeds are grown to cuttings of aproximately 8cm in about 12 to 14 weeks. These cuttings are delivered to Lugt Lisianthus and they are planted with an automated machine. In about 8 weeks, the grown to flowers in about 8 weeks. The flowers are harvested with approximately 2 blooms open and are processed and prepared for the customers.

Wrapping up our visit to Lugt Lisianthus, we’ve learned a lot about how these gorgeous blooms are grown. From planting the seeds to picking the blooms, every step shows their commitment to delivering flowers. As we keep working with Lugt Lisianthus, we’re excited to keep sharing their amazing Lisianthuses with our customers. It’s all about continuing a tradition of floral excellence, and we’re thrilled to be part of it.
