As the breeders behind brands like Magical Hydrangea and Surfing Safari, we know what it takes to create varieties that perform in the greenhouse, stand out on the shelf and bring lasting joy to the end consumer.

At HOKO Breeding, we go beyond breeding. We actively support growers with product photography, point-of-sale materials and ready-to-use campaigns. Because strong genetics deserve strong stories.

Breeding process

Crossing, selecting, testing, it may sound simple, but each HOKO Breeding variety is the result of years of meticulous work. We keep detailed records and stay closely tuned to what the market asks for. Every seedling goes through rigorous field trials and greenhouse tests. Only those that naturally branch without growth regulators, show strong disease resistance, and impress with colour and longevity make it to the finish line.

It takes patience, vision and a lot of care. On average, it takes four years for a cross to prove itself.
And even then, we’re not done. We continue selecting for another two years before a variety is scaled up and made available to our customers.
