Genus of the Family Amaryllidaceae, mostly native to South Africa.

Bulbs increase naturally, 5 times over a three to four year period planted in PB3 bags

They can also be grown in raised beds in well drained medium

Bulbs remain in their 'growing on bags' as long as possible without disruption as they thrive in a clumping situation

We grow Vallota lily in PB3 bags to control many aspects of the growing conditions they require in the commercial situation.

Vallota Lily, for efficient growth, in the commercial opportunity we are offering, needs to be protected from the extremes of the elements of rain, cold wind, intense summer sun.

However they are suitable for the home gardener and look wonderful flowering in clumped pots

The Advantages of Vallota lily are:

Production and profit high per square metre of growing area compared with other crops.

Stock appreciation is by the natural compounding increase of bulbs over a 3-4 year crop rotation cycle

Easy low maintenance crop requiring little effort.

Currently in NZ, Vallota is grown in significant quantities by only a very small number of growers producing small volumes of flowers or pot plants for local markets

FOOD FOR THOUGHT....... IT'S A GROWING ON OPERATION OF APPROX 7 YEARS

Minimum Purchase of 100 PB3 growing Bags expands to

YEAR 1 YEAR 3-4 YEAR 7 PLUS

100 bags of Bulbs 500 bags of Bulbs 2500 bags of Bulbs

By buying a larger quanity of bags on day one you can reduce the growing on operation to 3-4 years.

For Example

YEAR 1 YEAR 3-4

500 bags of Bulbs 2500 bags of Bulbs
