Eufloria Flowers on the Nipomo Mesa isn’t about creating generic roses.
Instead, the operation at the 8-plus-acre site on Mesa Road is about the art of the flower and experimenting to achieve optimal growth.
“We have lots of plants and lots of varieties,” said Chad Nelson, Eufloria Flowers sales manager.
The nursery produces 55 varieties of hybrid tea roses — a single-stem flower — and 30 different spray roses, a much different operation than when owner Andy Koch started growing flowers on the land in 1984.
At that time, Koch, a seventh-generation cut-flower grower, called his nursery Koch Mesa Nursery and specialized in miniature carnations.
