JU B HOL L AN D “ t he b est of natu re, for more tha n 10 0 y ea rs” We are Royal Supplier of Colour.

Our bulbs are colourful, we are colourful; the fourth generation of a tight-knit family business, JUB Holland. On flat, fertile landscapes in the Netherlands, we grow the most beautiful flower bulbs. We design bulb plantings in cities - on roadsides, in parks and on roundabouts.

We have been passionate since 1910.

And… the great thing is, a hundred years later, we can call ourselves Purveyors to the Royal Court of the Netherlands. A great honour. We are an award winning international bulb company where 40 people are working with the best of nature every day. Unique tulips, exclusive dahlias and miscellaneous bulbs. All in all, our company adds a multitude of colour to the environment. In our nursery our bulbs are growing as sustainably as possible. Nature has always been the basis of our success.

Our passion for bulbs has been our drive for generations

To enjoy these borders for an increased time, bulbs can be planted that bloom in March, April and May. It is important to take into account which plants are already coming into leaf around that time of year.

Together with the supporting structure of trees, hedges and shrubs, bulbs form a beautiful combination. Space is limited in the city, but that does not mean that you cannot make a pleasing garden. Roof gardens are the solution for this scarce space.

Besides their appearance, roof gardens also lower the temperature and the bees and butterflies
