Evanthia 12.5 year anniversary
In April, Evanthia will celebrate its 12.5 years. What started as an ambitious floriculture breeding company has grown into an international player in seeds and young plants for professional horticulture in just over a decade. With a growing product range, an international customer base and a strong focus on innovation, quality and customer focus, the company continues to develop.

Since its inception, Evanthia has focused on developing distinctive varieties, sourcing tropical seeds and supporting growers worldwide with high-quality cultivation and market knowledge. Through a combination of breeding knowledge, market orientation and close cooperation with customers, the company has built up a strong position within the international floriculture sector in a relatively short period of time.
In recent years, Evanthia has further developed its activities within two specialized divisions: Flowers and Tropical. At Flowers, the company mainly focuses on cut flowers and flowering pot plants from seeds for professional growers. The Tropical division focuses on tropical crops from seed and tissue culture for the production of young green plants and the sale of seeds to pot growers. The organizational focus provided enables Evanthia to further expand the two market segments in a targeted manner.
The company grew in a big way. The team was expanded to include specialists in breeding, product development, sales and marketing. At the same time, Evanthia continued to invest in innovation, international cooperation and the development of new varieties and concepts that meet the needs of growers and the market.
The 12.5 year anniversary is a moment to reflect on the development of the company and the people and partners, including customers and suppliers, who have contributed to it. Throughout the year, Evanthia will pay attention to this at various times, both internally and externally. For example, the anniversary will be celebrated in April with a party for all employees, in addition to other activities and communications.
In doing so, Evanthia expresses her great appreciation to all employees who work for the company every day. Their knowledge, commitment and dedication form an important basis for Evanthia's development in recent years. What started out of ambition, with the motive that flowers and plants contribute to people's well-being, Evanthia wants to continue to promote in the future.
Farmer Bailey and 60 cut flower growers visit Evanthia
A look behind the scenes
Of course, we couldn't let the group go home without giving them a look behind the scenes. Among other things, we visited a Celosia grower, where they saw the Celosia in full production. From cultivation and assortment to new varieties: there was plenty to see, discuss, and discover.
But that wasn't all. During the tour, the group was introduced to various seed cleaning techniques, which sparked plenty of conversation and new ideas.
We find this exchange particularly valuable. By sharing thoughts with growers about their experiences, challenges, and interests, we stay close to what is happening in the market. Conversely, we hope to provide our visitors with fresh inspiration for their own cultivation.
TFA 2026. It's a wrap!
Stop, look, and catch up
For us, a trade fair is much more than just setting up a beautiful stand. It is the moment when everything comes together. Products that you normally only see on a screen or in a catalog are suddenly right in front of you. That is why we brought a healthy dose of Evanthia to Aalsmeer. For three days, our assortment served as the starting point for new ideas, questions, and conversations.
We spoke with growers, customers, trading partners, and other familiar faces in the industry. We discussed new ideas, current market trends, and where the opportunities lie. Sometimes at length, sometimes in between appointments. But always valuable. We listened, shared our ideas, and went home with at least as much inspiration as we arrived with.
Save the date!
