Ten Have

Ten Have starts in the open air. After the Second World War, Anton ten Have started growing grapes in Honselersdijk. Later, many different pot plants were added, including Cyclamen. These were grown in handmade terracotta pots and transported with a barge to the auction.

In the 1970s, twin brothers Ton and Theo took over the business, built greenhouses, grew to 1.2 hectares, and in the 1980s specialised in Campanula - in time also for outdoor use. They also start breeding and propagating Campanula, after receiving a bag of seeds from Japan. Not without success! This was continued by their sons Rob, Vincent and Dion in 1997.

Our company has grown through several acquisitions from neighbours into a modern enterprise of over 4 acres. We have gone from 1 entrepreneur to 3 and to more than 3.5 Campanulas and over 500,000 Cyclamen. More than 100 years of Ten Have: A family business based on continuity and far from being grown out.

As the Campanula expert in the Netherlands, we know this plant inside out. The Campanula is for indoors and outdoors. The Campanula really brings spring into your home. Or on your balcony, terrace or garden. The Campanula houseplant is the Isophylla, also known as the Star of Bethlehem. It is available in white, blue, bicolour, double white and double blue. The outdoor plant is the Campanula Portenschlagiana, available in purple, white, pink and a double colour. We have named all our colours after European cities.

What makes the Campanula so special?

- Many buds before flowering
- Bright, fresh colours
- A real spring plant
- After about five weeks of flowering, you can prune it back and place it in the garden for a second flowering period
