Gediflora makes a new start on English market
Gediflora specialise in Belgian Mums for growing outdoor as well as indoor. You can grow our varieties under blackouts or normal natural season culture.
You only need 1 cutting in a pot and when growing outdoors you do not need to pinch at all. Our cuttings are produced under strict hygiene rules in Brazil and will be rooted in Belgium. This year we have again invested in breeding because we are convinced that it is very important to find the best varieties. We look at several things like white rust resistance, nice flowers, good reaction time, nice green leaves in the centre of the plant, etc.
Clients are welcome to visit our company to see the new varieties and the flower trials from early September until the end of October. Please make an appointment so we can show you around.
In 2009 we have made a new start for selling our product in England through our new
representative Lyndon Mason. He can help you to make up a programme which is
suitable for you. You can contact him by email lr-mason@msn.com or mobile 07771
