Welcome to the website of Ruigrok Flowerbulbs, we are your wholesale flower bulb supplier from The Netherlands! We specialize in growing and trading flower bulbs for the North American wholesale market and proudly call ourselves Suppliers of Spring.
We have
deep roots
In 1880, Willem Ruigrok began growing fruits and vegetables in De Zilk, in the Netherlands in what would become the heart of today’s Dutch flower bulb district. At the same time, he also started a small flower bulb nursery. We first started growing tulip bulbs and trading at a professional level in 1990, the beginning of a flourishing family business!
