HL Hogervorst

HL Hogervorst is the flower bulb nursery and forcing company run by Gert-Jan and Sandra Hogervorst. They grow the flower bulbs themselves and then use them to produce flowering potted plants, giving the company control over the entire process. As a result, HL Hogervorst knows the origin and quality of every bulb and offers a 100% flowering guarantee.

Before a plant leaves the nursery, three to four years of work have already gone into it and the bulbs have undergone several treatments. First, the bulbs are propagated and prepared with a temperature treatment. They are then planted, covered with straw, fertilised, harvested and carefully dried. During the process, the bulbs are sorted several times. Only when a bulb is large enough is it planted in a pot.

The plant range includes Tulip, Hyacinthus, Muscari and Iris. HL Hogervorst also grows Crocus, Galanthus and Narcissus. All these products are grown as potted plants.

HL Hogervorst has applied its knowledge of bulb cultivation for five decades. During that time, the company has developed a broad range of potted bulbs whose added value can vary from year to year.

HL Hogervorst considers people and the environment throughout production. The use of crop protection products, fertilisers, water and energy is recorded and reduced wherever possible. Waste streams are also monitored. Within Decorum, the company’s own cultivation, expertise and reliable product quality contribute to a broad, recognisable and carefully assembled plant range.
