Ball Horticultural Company was founded in 1905 by George J. Ball in Chicago, Illinois. For over 120 years the company has grown from a small seed business into a global leader in floriculture, reaching growers across more than 130 countries.

Ball Australia was established in 2001, bringing world-class genetics, vegetative cuttings and tissue culture liners to Australian growers. Through a network of passionate sales managers and a local propagation hub, Ball Australia has become an essential partner for nurseries and retailers across the country.

In 2023, Ball Australia acquired Outback Plants, expanding its Australian footprint and strengthening supply of Australian-grown product alongside its globally bred ranges.
