Crops To Pay Attention To Express Seed Co. Sales Meeting July 8 & 9, 2011 Oberlin, Ohio - Schoneveld Cyclamen

Schoneveld History Schoneveld is an 80 year Dutch company who has been involved in Floriculture since their beginning. In the 1970’s Jan Schoneveld, started a Cyclamen breeding program that to this day is rated as one of the best in the world. Schoneveld are truly specialists. Their full focus is on Cyclamen. Their only other commercial breeding crop is Primula Obconica, but the life blood is Cyclamen.

Why Schoneveld They have developed a full high quality Cyclamen lineup. There are good choices for every situation, environment, and pot size. Schoneveld’s Cyclamen reputation was really built on having a higher flower count than the competition. But just as important, is the superior uniformity within the series, from color to color, a more compact plant habit, and the shorter stronger flower stems. Another key ingredient to Schoneveld’s success in the market place, and at the consumer level, is an increased “shelf life”. They hold up longer, and look better longer, as they age in the garden or the home, than other varieties. These breeding traits show up on all their Cyclamen series from the micros to the mammoths.
