A Cut Above Since 1905

From Traditional to Contemporary

George J. Ball founded his business in 1905 as a cut flower grower and breeder, focusing on breeding his own strains of calendulas, sweet peas and asters. His goal was to make them easier to grow and more disease resistant, improving the production process for the cut flower industry as a whole.

Almost 120 years later, Ball Seed®, now a fourth-generation family business, continues this drive to provide cut flower growers with the highest quality cut flower seed, plugs, liners, bulbs and tissue culture through rigorous testing, a reliable supply chain and consistent, on-time delivery.
