Viveros Rafael Dalmau

Since the early part of last century, the name Dalmau has been synonymous with  Premium Plants. And towards the end of last century Viveros Rafael Dalmau has continued the process.

What makes Viveros Rafael Dalmau plants the best in our industry is our process – part art, part science, all loving-care! We start with the best stock, raise each plant on a specially- formulated and nutrient-rich diet, and nurture and care for each plant by hand. Some varieties spend up to eight years under our care before arriving at your favourite garden centre.

Our process continues to evolve – always improving and perfecting our growing techniques to produce the healthiest, hardiest, most beautiful plants with the highest standards in our industry.

From our growing fields to your garden, we care for your plants – by considering the details and making the extra effort to ensure that every plant that leaves our nursery is a peak performer and prime specimen that will live longer and grow stronger in your garden.

High-Bred

In a way, plants are like people — they too have circulatory systems and need to absorb nutrients in order to thrive. Just as people who are in good health tend to be resistant to illness, plants that start out healthy are much more able to fight disease. Healthy Viveros Rafael Dalmau plants will look lush in the garden centre and be more likely to flourish in your garden.

Well-Fed

A critical component of the growing process is the soil. Plants grown in nutrient-rich soils are healthier, with stronger root systems.

A number of different types of mycorrhizae are added to our soil mix to create an environment that dramatically increases the life of our plants. Mycorrhizae is a beneficial fungus that develops in and around a plant’s roots, stimulating its nutrient and water uptake, increasing fruit and flower yield, and reducing transplant shock and other environmental stresses.

Once you begin adding Viveros Rafael Dalmau plants to your garden, the mycorrhizae in the soil will begin to spread, benefiting your garden’s ecosystem. You’ll see for yourself that quality soil ensures that plants flourish, making them far more resistant to pests and disease.

Loving-Care

All Viveros Rafael Dalmau plants are nurtured and cared for by hand by our highly- skilled and specially- trained  Craftsmen. Plants are pruned several times at all stages of maturity to ensure each plant grows to the specified fullness or “spread” that Viveros Rafael Dalmau plants are known for.

Every element of a plant’s upbringing is scrutinized – from propagation and canning to watering, fertilizing, and pruning. Each plant must be disease- free, have a healthy root system, and meet Rafael Dalmau’s own high quality standards for size, foliage, colour, and number of blooms, or it will not be approved for shipment. Only the healthiest, hardiest, peak performers are selected to leave the nursery of Viveros Rafael Dalmau
