For Ariën van Wijk, Lisianthus cultivation is in his blood. As a child, he could often be found in his father's garden. When the opportunity arose to take over a nursery, the decision was quite simple. He sees endless possibilities in his craft and constantly pushes the boundaries of what is possible.

Japan: The Birthplace of Lisianthus
Lisianthus is originally hailing from Japan, and in Japan you can still find a hub for cultivating and developing new varieties. Japanese growers are known for their ability to cultivate and breed heavy, large-flowered Lisianthus. It is from this tradition that the Big Sun line draws inspiration. By utilizing cooler and more controlled growing conditions, these flowers achieve impressive dimensions with thicker stems. While regular Lisianthus varieties typically take seven to eight weeks to be ready for harvest, Big Sun varieties require a significantly longer ten to eleven weeks before they are ready for harvest.

Sustainability at the Core
Lisianthus thrives on abundant sunlight, so Ariën has made significant investments in an energy-efficient hybrid system that provides the plants with more energy and allows for cooler temperatures. Furthermore, the Big Sun line is grown at lower temperatures, reducing the need for extensive greenhouse heating.
