Seed production

Our company has chosen to keep all its production in Fréjus, a traditional agricultural and vegetable production area. The production team members have developed a unique and particular know-how.

Supplemented by frequent training courses, expertise in cyclamen seed production is at the heart of the profession.

Pollination and harvesting

This requires a thorough job, totally performed by hand. At the intersection of science, crafts and nature, the precise movements of the workers are the same as bees at work.

The harvesting of seeds takes place form March to June.

Storage and packaging of seeds

After the harvest, our laboratory team takes over from the production team at this stage. Bulk and retail packaging are available for customers

Germination tests

The germination of each variety is checked 3 times:
we perform a triple check each season: independent laboratory, Morel laboratory, greenhouse tests in actual growing conditions.
