Hem Genetics, a sister company of Hem Zaden BV was founded in April 1998. Hem Genetics objective is breeding, development and marketing of both seed and vegetative propagated ornamental pot- and bedding plant varieties, aimed at the professional grower market. Hem Genetics puts a lot of effort in its breeding program developing varieties which require less or no plant growth regulators (PGRs). The
se natural dwarf varieties are marked with the "Low Grow Approved" logo. Up till today we have succeeded in developing two natural dwarf series of Petunia named Limbo and Mambo, one named Geranium Nano and one named Salvia Reddy, making it a total of four "Low Grow Approved" natural dwarf series. These series are recognized as a real breakthrough in breeding work. Hem Genetics is the only company in the world offering natural dwarf varieties. No or less use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) is not only a financial benefit to professional growers. It enables them also to take a step forward in environmentally conscious growing. Hem Genetics will continue to put effort in applying similar concepts where possible in its breeding activities. This in combination with the creation of novel ornamental varieties is our contribution to the world of floriculture.
