Oriental poppies
In 2024, Van Dongen Plants took over the cultivation of Oriental poppies from Leo and Arnold van Berkel. The company now grows approximately 35 carefully selected varieties. Although Oriental poppies are a relatively new crop within the business, they align perfectly with Van Dongen Plants’ expertise and quality-driven approach.
Oriental poppies are a demanding crop, requiring precision and experience. Thanks to close cooperation and ongoing support from Leo and Arnold van Berkel, Van Dongen Plants has been able to develop this crop successfully. The assortment continues to expand, with a strong focus on distinctive colours, robust varieties and consistent performance.
