What makes the hallmark bulb so special?
The Holland Flower Bulb Hallmark Foundation has set rules and quality requirements with which a company must comply before being allowed to participate in the foundation. Only companies that are members of the foundation may offer hallmark flower bulbs for sale. Members of the foundation are inspected by an independent and expert inspection agency upon compliance with the regulations and quality requirements as imposed by the foundation. The associated company gives the flower bulbs the necessary treatment with utmost care before offering them for sale on the market. Flower bulbs that do not meet these requirements may not be sold. If this is done anyway, disciplinary action will be taken. • Which organisations can become members of the foundation? Exporters of flower bulbs who meet the conditions and comply with the regulations of the foundation can apply to the foundation. Consequently, the foundation assesses whether the company is to be admitted after a year of probation.
