Cut-flower seed and young plant suppliers’ directory Compiled by Gordon Hanks, Horticultural Consultant, for the National Cut Flower Centre (Revised June 2015)

Please note: The emphasis in compiling this database has been solely to list businesses that might be of use in sourcing information, seeds, young plants, cuttings, liners, etc., for the trialling of cut-flowers, fillers, foliage, etc. Some of the companies listed supply a wide range of materials, while others specialise in a limited range, only some of which may be relevant to the cut-flower sector. Cut-flowers grown under heated glass in the UK (such as roses) and bulbous plants have not been specifically searched for, though some may have been incidentally included. The inclusion of a company or organisation does not imply an endorsement, nor does the omission of a company or organisation imply any criticism. The information is given in good faith and was understood to be accurate as of 17 June 2015. Comments given in the database represent the compiler’s personal interpretation of the websites mentioned. The compiler does not claim this database is comprehensive in any way, and would be glad to receive constructive additions, alterations or corrections for inclusion at a later date via [email protected].

GJ van Zelderen BV is a producer and distributor of planting material to professional growers internationally, with a wide variety of cut-flower and pot-plant young plants, including asparagus, aralia, Radermachera sincica, Schefflera arboricola, Nolina recurvata and others. Their range of green fillers has given them a foothold in the bouquet market.

Research led to the company unveiling its first curcuma and globba varieties, which have proved successful in cut-flower production as well as for pot-plants. They also specialise in indoor and outdoor palms, and indoor green plants for pot-plant and cut leaves.
