Situated in Noordwijkerhout, near seaside resort of Noordwijk aan Zee (Noordwijk on Sea), 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. In addition to this, Kebra grows young perennials that have just graduated from the tissue culture laboratory, and also grows older plants out in the field.

 

 

Euphorbias and other perennials are grown inside the greenhouses until they are large enough to be replanted in the fields.
