Zabo Plant has a new product line: Gladiolus Prisma, adding another branch to its rich product tree that already contained many popular varieties of Liliums and Zantedeschias. This is what you can expect from this top bulb exporter—including sneak peeks of varieties that do not even have a name yet!

With the acquisition of Prisma Gladiolus, Zabo Plant is not just expanding its product lineup but taking full control of its breeding and cultivation process. This move allows this renowned breeder to offer something truly unique to its customers: a direct line to some of the most stunning and innovative gladioli varieties on the market.

Prisma Gladiolus has a rich history, thanks to the pioneering efforts of Jan Baltus and Hans Kneppers. These industry veterans laid the foundation for what has become a top-tier gladiolus brand, known for its exceptional quality and breathtaking range of varieties.

The Gladioli Specialist

To ensure Prisma Gladiolus continues to thrive under Zabo's ownership, Joeri van Klink has been appointed as the go-to gladioli expert. Van Klink is deeply passionate about these flowers, and he works closely with Baltus and Kneppers to maintain the high standards that Prisma has set. Together, they’re not just preserving the legacy—they’re pushing it forward.

One of the exciting new directions Zabo Plant is taking with Prisma is the development of smaller gladioli varieties. These petite beauties are perfect for customers looking for something a little different, and we plan to offer them as part of a unique package. It’s just one of the ways they are innovating within the gladiolus space.

 

 

A Kaleidoscope of Color

Zabo Plant's commitment to quality doesn’t stop with breeding. A test garden was built to cultivate both proven varieties and breed new developments. This garden isn’t just for show—it’s a living laboratory where this company can observe how these plants perform in real-world conditions. The result will be Gladioli that are as resilient as they are beautiful.

Joeri van Klink, along with the rest of Zabo's team, is dedicated to ensuring that every newly introduced variety meets the high standards its customers have come to expect. And with Zabo Plant overseeing every aspect of the process, from planting to packaging, this exporter is confident that Prisma Gladiolus will continue to flourish.

Quality at Every Step

The full range of Prisma Gladiolus consists of almost forty varieties in every imaginable color, from the classical pristine white to dark red, and from the poppy sweet pink to the fierce bicolored purples.

As part of its commitment to quality, Zabo Plant employs the practice of topping in its Gladiolus cultivation. Much like with tulips, topping helps to redirect the plant’s energy from flower production back into the bulb. This technique not only enhances the quality of the bulbs but also ensures they store better and grow stronger when planted by its customers. It’s this attention to detail that sets Prisma Gladiolus apart.

Zabo Plant knows like no other that introducing new varieties can be a bit of a gamble—will they resonate with customers? That’s why they take every step seriously, from the field to the photo studio. E-commerce manager, Dirk Scholten, plays a crucial role in this process. With his mobile studio, Scholten captures the essence of each new Gladiolus variety, allowing customers to see exactly what they’re getting. These high-quality images are essential for showcasing the unique features of each variety and helping customers make informed decisions. These features are:

The focus on quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction is evident in every step of the process, from breeding to the final product.
