Situated in Noordwijkerhout, near seaside resort of Noordwijk aan Zee, Kebra is in the heart of the Dutch bulb district.

It was founded in 1994 by Mark van Kesteren and Patrick Brama to propagate perennials from cuttings. Today, Kebra also grows young perennials through that have just graduated from the tissue culture laboratory and also grows older plants out in the field.

Entrusted with many new introductions, Kebra Nursery has a lot of responsibility on its shoulders. It is an essential link in the chain that makes it possible for a hybridiser’s prize creation to be growing in your garden in as little as 3 years after the first plant was discovered.

Among its portfolio are the New York and Parisian series of Oriental Poppies and some exciting new Echinaceas. Terry Dowdeswell’s amazing Delphinium ‘Sarita’ from New Zealand is also grown here as is the black-leaved Ligularia ‘Britt-Marie Crawford’ and the pretty new variegated Euphorbia ‘Lacy’.

Perennials are grown inside the greenhouses until they are large enough to replant in the fields.
