Basil Dark Opal
Dark Opal basil catches the eye at first glance with its unusual color and intense fragrance. Its original home is in the warm and sunny regions of Asia, which is why it requires full sun and a sheltered location in our gardens as well. It thrives best in humus-rich, loamy, and well-drained soil. You will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot, which can be planted directly into the garden bed. As it is a heat-loving annual, watch out for late spring frosts and ravenous slugs. The 'Dark Opal' variety is exceptional for its deep, dark, purple-violet leaves. It is said that they contain more essential oils and have a sharper flavor than common basil. From June to September, the plant forms bushes thirty to forty centimeters high and blooms with edible light pink flowers that irresistibly attract pollinators. The colorful aromatic stems stand out beautifully in summer bouquets and, once cut, will reliably scent your entire home.

Cultivation
The Dark Opal basil plantlet you receive from us is best planted outdoors only when the spring frosts have reliably passed, which is usually from mid-May. This heat-loving annual loves full sun and will appreciate a spot protected from strong winds. For successful growth, it requires nutritious, humus-rich, and loamy soil that is also sufficiently permeable. Avoid heavy, clay soils where the roots could rot. When planting in a bed, maintain a spacing of 25 to 30 centimeters, which corresponds to roughly 9 to 16 plants per square meter. Sufficient space ensures good air circulation and will help prevent fungal diseases such as gray mold or Fusarium wilt.
Watering should be regular but moderate. Keep the substrate slightly moist, but never overwater the plant to prevent root rot. During the growing season, you can support the basil with light fertilizing using an organic fertilizer, which will encourage the development of its deep purple leaves. If you want to prolong its lifespan and maintain a compact, bushy shape 30 to 40 centimeters tall, regularly pinch off the top shoots. This will delay flowering and the plant will branch out beautifully. Even though the light pink edible flowers are a great attraction for bees and pollinators, removing them in time ensures that the leaves retain their best, sharper flavor throughout the summer.
Dark Opal basil can also be grown excellently in a spacious pot or window box on a sunny balcony or terrace. When growing in containers, don't forget a quality drainage layer at the bottom, which will safely drain away excess water. In the garden, watch out primarily for greedy slugs and snails, for which this aromatic herb is a sought-after delicacy. Occasionally, aphids may appear, which can be easily washed off with a stream of water or treated with a soap solution. Given that it is a plant with absolutely no frost resistance, its outdoor cultivation ends with the first autumn frosts. Before they arrive, you can harvest the entire plant and make great use of it in the kitchen.

From us, you will receive a grown seedling in a pot, which you just need to transplant directly into the flowerbed, ideally with a spacing of sixty centimeters. Thanks to its unpretentiousness, valerian is ideal for beginners, though it occasionally attracts aphids. During the summer, it forms sturdy stems with green leaves reaching a height of up to one hundred and fifty centimeters. Tiny white and pink inflorescences bloom on them. The plant is highly aromatic and emits a specific scent favored by cats. The flowers are edible and reliably attract bees. Valerian is excellently suited for damper herb beds, where it willingly self-seeds. For bouquets, we collect the stems when the first little flowers open; they will last five days in a vase.

Origanum vulgare
Oregano Compactum
Oregano Compactum represents an ideal choice for the sunny and drier corners of your garden. The original species come from rocky hillsides, so it is accustomed to modest conditions and will appreciate poorer, well-draining soil in full sun. It does not require complex care, avoids pests, and resists severe frosts. We will deliver a well-rooted seedling in a pot ready for planting in the flowerbed. During the summer, it forms a flood of tiny pink flowers that attract plenty of pollinators. It works excellently in gravel plantings alongside drought-tolerant perennials, where it creates dense green carpets, especially if you plant the seedlings about twenty-five centimeters apart. Both the green leaves and flowers are edible and form the aromatic base of many dishes. The flowering stems serve very well as cut flowers in fresh bouquets and retain their color even after drying in floristic arrangements. The Compactum cultivar differs from the basic species primarily by its disciplined growth. It is much lower, grows in neat cushions, and, unlike the wild form, does not tend to self-seed into its surroundings.
