First containers with Amaryllis bulbs are on their way to Europe and the US

The annual Amaryllis harvest at our production site in Chan Chan, Peru, has started successfully. The first containers with carefully harvested and sorted Amaryllis bulbs are now on their way to Europe and the United States. This year’s assortment includes Amorita® Danu, Amorita® Esus, Apple Blossom, Christmas Gift, Minerva and Red Lion. Everything is proceeding according to plan and the outlook for the 2025 season is excellent.

Top-quality Amaryllis bulbs from Peru

The first quality checks are promising: the bulbs are well developed, strong and of uniform quality. Thanks to the unique climate conditions in Peru – dry conditions, abundant sunlight and minimal risk of disease – we can rely on a stable harvest with a high standard of quality. We have also doubled our processing capacity: over 140,000 bulbs are processed daily in two modern facilities, while maintaining top quality.

‘Thanks to the expansion of our capacity, we can currently process more than 140,000 Amaryllis bulbs per day while maintaining top quality.’ Jos van der Drift (Managing Director).

Why Amaryllis bulbs from Peru?

By growing Amaryllis in their natural environment in the Southern Hemisphere and harvesting them early, we ensure top quality and early availability in autumn. This early availability means the bulbs can bloom in consumers’ homes just in time for the key Christmas season.

The choice of this location is due to the unique climate, which provides the perfect conditions for growing Amaryllis bulbs. The dry climate minimizes crop diseases and reduces the need for crop protection products. This not only preserves the integrity of our bulbs but also strengthens our commitment to sustainability.
