Our history

The Rotteveel family has been in business for more than 4 generations and we like to distinguish ourselves by providing premium quality flower bulbs & perennials from Holland. Pete J. Rotteveel started visiting customers at the age of 21-year-old, after finishing his studies primarily in horticulture. Pete’s father sent him to the USA in the 50’s for flower bulb sales. Nowadays he’s still visiting customers and sharing his knowledge/experience about growing flower bulbs.

Ben van Egmond joined the Rotteveel Bulb Co. in 1995. Ben’s been working in the flower bulb industry for more than 25 years now. He began at the young age of 14-year-old, packing and cleaning bulbs. After graduating college in 2005, he started working full-time in the bulb business and is now co-owner at Rotteveel Bulb Co.

We carry a huge advantage of having an operational base in the Netherlands in the middle of the flower bulb district. We have direct links with the best flower bulb growers in the Netherlands and have a continuous input from the market with regards to new varieties and quality.
