Established in 2010 with a plan to grow the best quality, domestic California-grown Zantedeschia sp. Calla Lily bulbs from seed and tissue culture, Rancho Espinoza planted 20 acres of production. Founder Adrian Espinoza says he believes the California Central Coast is the best place to grow Callas, as mild temperatures throughout the year result in the ideal growing conditions to produce Calla bulbs.
“Our company grows 85% of its production from in-house seed and 15% from tissue culture,” he says. “We bring in rare varieties from global breeders and grow them to salable size and provide true T2 bulbs to market. All our bulbs are true T2 bulbs, meaning they grow two years in the soil undisturbed before they are harvested in the fall.”
