In addition to snowdrops, we also have a great love for dahlias. That’s why we want to gently start a small dahlia activity at the nursery this summer.

These dahlias come from an existing stock that we have taken over. Since this stock was not labeled, we do not yet know exactly which varieties are included. This will become clear as the plants grow and begin to bloom.

The dahlias are potted in peat-free potting soil. For us, this is a wonderful way to gain experience with another group of special plants outside the snowdrop season, and to discover the shapes, colors, and varieties that this batch brings.

Thus, this summer will not only mark a new beginning for the dahlias but also for us as a nursery outside the snowdrop season.

Do you want to successfully grow snowdrops? The secret lies in preparation. As a specialized nursery, we recommend starting with airy, humus-rich soil. Snowdrops (Galanthus) thrive best in a semi-shaded spot.

The timing of planting is crucial. Plant the bulbs 'in the green' (immediately after flowering) for the best results. Ensure the soil doesn't dry out, but avoid excessive moisture. Follow our website for updates, because as soon as our new location opens, you can visit our nursery for personal advice and unique varieties.

We proudly announce a major milestone in the history of the Dutch National Snowdrop Collection. Annie Fallinger, who has fulfilled the holdership with great dedication for years, transfers this special responsibility to Rosalie van der Maas.

Rosalie van der Maas brings a great passion for snowdrops and will continue the tradition of careful cultivation and preservation of these special plants. Together with the team of Kwekerij Sela, she will ensure that this unique collection remains accessible to enthusiasts and researchers.

We thank Annie Fallinger for her years of dedication and look forward with enthusiasm to the future under the leadership of Rosalie van der Maas.

For the realization of Kwekerij Sela and housing our collection of rare snowdrops, we are looking for a suitable plot. We are looking for land of approximately 1,000 m² to 1 hectare in the area of Bennekom, Ede, or Wageningen.
