About us

Flamingo Holland was established in the United States in 1984, serving growers in all 50 states with offices located in California, New Jersey as well as Canada. We are well known among professional flower growers as innovators of the latest flower bulb varieties, attributed to our strong ties with breeders in Holland, Israel, Chile, and France.
