— The Elegardens Team
A Family Tradition of Horticultural Excellence Since 1953 Elegardens® is the Bio Collection brand of Stauden Peters GbR, a family-owned company with over seven decades of horticultural tradition. Founded in 1953 in Kranenburg, Germany, Stauden Peters has grown from a small flower nursery into one of Europe’s leading producers of perennials, ornamental grasses, and peonies.
Delivering Premium Plants Across Europe Through its brands—Elegrass, Elerose, and Elegardens—the company delivers innovative, high-quality plant solutions to garden centers, nurseries, and wholesalers across Europe. With cultivation sites in both Germany and Portugal, Stauden Peters combines expertise with modern production methods and reliable logistics to ensure consistent availability and premium quality throughout the season.
Cultivating Across Germany and Portugal In Portugal, the company operates on 25 hectares, including 22 hectares of open-field cultivation and 3 hectares under protective cover. In Germany, production spans three sites totaling 27 hectares, with 20 hectares of open fields and 7 hectares equipped with advanced greenhouses.
Innovation Meets Horticultural Heritage A major milestone occurred in 2020 with the integration of the Reichswalde branch, formerly Nursery Stefan Wolf, into the family business. This 7-hectare site—featuring 3 hectares of state-of-the-art greenhouses and 4 hectares of open fields—blends horticultural heritage with innovation. It was here in 2024 that the Elegardens® BIO collection was launched, reflecting the company’s dedication to sustainable and forward-looking horticulture.
Certified Organic and Eco-Friendly The Elegardens® BIO collection represents the next chapter in Stauden Peters’ journey, combining certified organic cultivation with a strong commitment to aesthetics and environmental care. Built on the principles of biodiversity, resilience, and sustainability, the collection features EU BIO-certified plants that grow naturally without the use of synthetic chemicals.
