From Primeur to Winner
At Royal FloraHolland hundreds of new cultivars and concepts are introduced each year, via the clocks at the different locations or via Commerce of Royal FloraHolland.
Royal FloraHolland highlights the novelties of its suppliers at international and national trade fairs, in presentations at the clock, in special auction groups and with the prestigious Royal FloraHolland 'Dutch Tulip Award' presentation.
