Who is Van den Bos Flowerbulbs
Founded in 1946 in the Westland region of the Netherlands, Van den Bos Flowerbulbs has grown from a small family business into a global leader in flower bulb innovation and distribution. We deliver bulbs to professional growers of potted plants and cut flowers. With locations across four continents and customers in more than 60 countries, we specialize in bulbs for lilies, freesias, and callas – offering over 500 top-quality varieties.
As we have access to bulbs grown in both the Northern and the Southern hemisphere, we’re able to guarantee year-round availability and consistency. Many of our varieties are sold on a (semi)-exclusive basis, allowing us to offer a truly unique assortment.
Our success is built on generations of craftsmanship, a spirit of innovation, and strong partnerships with our growers, breeders, and customers.
Our services
From harvest to delivery, we ensure each bulb meets our high standards. Upon arrival at our facilities, all incoming bulbs and corms are carefully inspected by our quality team.
Approved lily bulbs are rinsed (if necessary), disinfected, and packed into crates. They are then frozen and stored in controlled cooling cells. We monitor temperature, humidity, and sugar levels daily – even during storage, our bulbs are under continuous control.
Each batch is also tested in our dedicated trial greenhouse. Our quality controllers monitor the growth closely.
Approved freesia corms are carefully sorted, dried, and packed into ventilated crates for optimal air circulation, then stored under controlled conditions. Before shipment, they move to a preparation cell where root development begins. Temperature and humidity are monitored throughout to ensure consistent, high-quality corms.
Quality inspection & Global cultivation support
When it’s time for delivery, customers can access their reserved batches online via our customer portal. Before shipment, a final inspection takes place to ensure the bulbs meet our high standards.
Our service goes beyond logistics – we offer global cultivation support. Our account managers conduct regular field visits to monitor development and provide tailored advice.
Sustainability & Innovation
At Van den Bos Flowerbulbs, sustainability is about long-lasting relationships and responsible growth. We invest in people, collaborate closely with breeders, and work hand-in-hand with customers to build meaningful partnerships that span generations. This shared commitment drives us to create an enduring impact across the entire value chain.
Our innovation is fueled by people and expertise. From breeding new varieties to applying smart technologies like solar panels and TAPP loggers, we continuously improve our practices with efficiency and care. Because to us, sustainability and innovation are not trends - they’re how we grow.
Together, we are growing a sustainable and innovative future, one bloom at a time.
Quality first
At Van den Bos, quality is not a goal - it’s the starting point. Every bulb we deliver reflects decades of expertise, strict selection processes, and an uncompromising eye for detail. From cultivation to storage and distribution, we monitor every step to ensure consistent, top-tier performance.
Whether it’s a single stem or a full greenhouse, our customers can count on reliability, uniformity, and outstanding results - time after time. Because in everything we do, quality always comes first.
