We look for cultivars that are resistant, primarily against botrytis and viruses. In this way, we contribute towards active cultivation and a future-proof lily sector.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to its strong commitment to breeding, De Jong Lelies has brought a number of famous cultivars onto the lily market, including the LA hybrids \u2018Yellow Diamond\u2019, \u2018Indian Diamond\u2019 and \u2018Puma\u2019. Promising newcomers to the exclusive De Jong range are \u2018Hinault\u2019, \u2018Zanella\u2019 and \u2018Asopus\u2019.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1553524664466{padding-left: 50px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;no-padding&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1567590663491{margin-bottom: 50px !important;padding-right: 20% !important;}&#8221;]Usability in small sizes is an important pillar when it comes to our breeding activities.
