"It’s impossible to go wrong with 'Blue Magic'"

Rob Kreuk from J.Th. Kreuk & Zn. B.V. based at the Langevliet in Callantsoog is currently the sole owner of the company. Together with 4 permanent employees and his sister, who looks after the financial side, he grows over 185 acres of bulbs. Muscari has been part of his range for many years. “We currently grow 32 acres of Muscari of which 15 acres of ‘Blue Magic’. We are a member of Muscari Magic and together we grow in addition to the ‘Blue Magic’: ‘Ocean Magic’, ‘White Magic’ and ‘Early Magic’. There are even more varieties down the pipeline.”

"Idiot proof"
Kreuk is equally excited about the different Magic varieties, which are mainly cultivated for the export and pot plant market. However, he would be most experienced with the ‘Blue Magic’. "The beauty of this variety is its genetic short foliage. With other Muscari species, you’ll have to follow a specific programme in order to get the same results. This is not necessary with ‘Blue Magic’.” Kreuk also refers to this variety as idiot proof. “It’s impossible to go wrong with ‘Blue Magic’. It’s easy to work with and there’s hardly any trouble. This goes for cut flower as well as pot plant cultivation. Under normal circumstances, you will have 0% wastage.”
