Willemsen Weijs

Willemsen Weijs is a family business with a history of more than 75 years. The nursery is run by René Willemsen and Sietske Weijs, cousins. Over the years, the company has grown step by step to what it is today: 1 hectare of greenhouse and 1 hectare of container field. Here, a lot of care and attention is given to the cultivation of Flapjacks (Kalanchoe thyrsiflora), Pachypodium lameri and slipper plants (Calceolaria), among others.

Every step, from sowing to harvesting, is done by Willemsen Weijs themselves. This enables them to keep a grip on quality and respond flexibly to customer wishes. In a committed, informal atmosphere, the team works with an eye for plants, people, the environment and quality. And thanks to an innovative energy system that generates energy from water storage, they are on their way to completely fossil-free cultivation.

The Flapjack, also known as Kalanchoe thyrsiflora, is a perfect plant for your garden, patio or balcony. Thanks to its South African roots, this succulent feels completely at home in dry, sunny conditions. In the sun, its leaves take on a beautiful red colour. It is an easy plant that needs little water and loves the sun.
