ABOUT US Chileflora is a new, young company established in Central Chile, near the city of Talca, some 250 km south of the Chilean capital, Santiago. It takes full advantage of its location, because Chileflora is close both to the wet, lush southern forests and the dry northern Altiplano of Chile with its other-worldly landscapes reminiscent of Martian deserts, having thus access to the best and most varied selection of plants and seeds from all over Chile. Chileflora is located in the countryside, and on its 67 ha premises grows a native bush forest with over 60 species, with such interesting species as Quillaja saponaria, Peumus boldus, Aristotelia chilensis, Maytenus boaria, Kageneckia oblonga, Azara dentada, Schinus polygamus, Lithrea caustica, and many others: we have one species of Puya coerula, three species of Calceolarias, two species of Orquides, Anemonas, Baccharis, Myrceugenias, Tropaeolums... Chileflora has two main business areas: the sale of seeds and the sale of native plants. Due to practical reasons, the seeds are destined mainly for export, while the plants are sold mainly on the internal market. That does not preclude the possibility of exporting live seedlings in trays, if the client wishes so. As suggested by the name of the company, Chileflora deals almost exclusively with native Chilean seeds and plants; there are few exceptions for medicinal plants (like Hypericum perforatum) and very few commercial plants for the internal market. Although Chileflora is a business venture, among its non-commercial objectives is the promotion of the Chilean flora in the world, education about the values of Chilean plants, especially their medicinal and nutritional properties, protection of the local environment and especially protection of bio-diversity, both in-situ and ex-situ, and propagation of rare and endangered Chilean species. We strive for excellence, quality and long-term business relationships. One of the ways we can achieve this is through our infrastructure and equipment.
