HEM GENETICS

Hem Genetics was set up in April 1998 as a sister company to Hem Zaden BV. We specialise in developing, producing and launching high quality varieties and seed for pot and bedding plants for the professional ornamental horticulture industry... At Hem Genetics we specialise in developing compact varieties that reduce the use of chemical plant growth regulators (PGRs). Our naturally dwarf varieties, which come with the "Low Grow Approved" logo, need no PGRs at all and are therefore ideal for more sustainable production. Examples are our dwarf petunias Limbo and Mambo, along with geranium Nano, salvia Reddy and cineraria Quicksilver. Hem Genetics is one of the few breeding companies in the world to develop and market F1 bedding plant varieties that stay naturally compact. We are committed to creating environmentally responsible concepts such as these, as we regard this as an important step towards making both the ornamental horticulture sector and the world in general more sustainable.
