Talinum paniculatum

Talinum Jewels of Opar

If you are looking for something truly unusual for your garden that does not require complex care, *Talinum paniculatum* 'Jewels of Opar' will certainly not disappoint you. This species originates from the regions of Central and South America, where it inhabits drier and sunny areas. It loves well-drained, rather sandy soil and can easily handle occasional lack of moisture. We send our customers a fully grown seedling in a pot, which just needs to be transplanted to your chosen location, whether in full sun or light partial shade. We recommend a planting spacing of thirty to forty-five centimeters. The plant takes hold very quickly, and cultivation is so simple that even absolute beginners can manage it without any issues. It forms bushes with a height of sixty to ninety centimeters that do not need support and do not require any pinching. From June to September, long thin stems grow from them, on which delicate, fuchsia and light pink flowers gradually bloom. Although they are only five millimeters in diameter and do not have a scent, they bloom in great quantities. The flowers are not only beautiful and attractive to pollinators, but are also fully edible, and the plant is completely avoided by pests and diseases. Although it is an annual and will not survive winter frosts, it likes to reliably reseed itself in the garden. In mixed plantings, it looks incredibly airy and perfectly complements the heavier, fuller flowers of other plants. If you like creating your own arrangements, be sure to cut a few stems for your home as well. In a vase with fresh flowers, it acts as a perfect misty filler. After flowering, small round seed pods form from the tiny flowers, looking like small gemstones. These are perfect for drying and for floral work in dried arrangements. Show full description

Baby's breath Flamingo, Loukykvět

Gypsophila paniculata

Paniculate baby's breath is originally a plant from the sandy steppes and slopes of southern Europe and central Asia, which has been grown in botanical gardens since the 18th century. Since the mid-19th century, it has also become naturalized in private gardens and became a classic cut perennial. In the garden, it applies excellently in modern-style steppe beds with grasses and drought-tolerant perennials, to which it adds airiness and lightness. The 'Flamingo' cultivar boasts a flood of tiny double flowers in a tender pink color, which last on the plant from July to September. The plant requires full sun and very well-drained, ideally sandy soil, because its deep taproots cannot stand winter dampness. Thanks to them, however, it resists drought excellently and is fully frost-resistant. For florists, baby's breath is indispensable, whether for fresh summer bouquets or for drying, as it retains its shape and color even after drying.

Here it will quickly take root and form a vigorous clump. The Red Knight cultivar enchants with slender stems up to ninety centimeters tall, which all summer from June to September carry a flood of dark burgundy to deep wine-red flowers. These edible flowers act as a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and other insects. The plant is an ideal choice for beginners because it reliably resists frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees and does not suffer from any pests or diseases. Although it belongs to short-lived perennials, in a suitable place it gladly self-seeds. It will fit perfectly into naturalistically designed plantings with ornamental grasses and is popularly used in sweeping meadow bouquets. We recommend cutting the flowers fully open; they will then stay beautifully fresh in a vase for several days.

You will receive a rooted plant from us that you can easily transplant according to your needs. Given its origin, it loves full sun and well-drained, slightly moist soil. It grows as a short-lived perennial, and because it can only withstand frost down to about -12 °C, it is most often grown as a container plant. It looks great in a large pot on a balcony or terrace, but you can also hide it with the container in a flower bed among ornamental grasses, where it will bloom continuously from July to October. With the arrival of winter, you just need to remove it and store it in a frost-free room. It reliably attracts many bees and other beneficial pollinators. The dark red heads are also great for cutting. In a vase, they create an impressive contrast to more delicate light flowers and stay fresh for many days.

Ornamental oregano Kent Beauty, Loukykvět

Originally, this species comes from the sunny and rocky slopes of the eastern Mediterranean, where it naturally grows in dry and poor soils. It is an exceptionally undemanding perennial that reliably withstands frosts. It applies itself perfectly in rockeries, dry stone walls, or on the edges of well-drained steppe beds, where it brings lightness and delicate structure.

These flowers act as an irresistible lure for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

Larkspur Benary’s Pacific Summer Skies, Loukykvět

Delphinium hybrida

The heavenly blue larkspur Benary’s Pacific Summer Skies brings a striking vertical element to the garden and plenty of food for bees. In the wild, larkspurs grow on nutrient-rich soils with plenty of moisture. Therefore, you should preferably prepare a sunny spot for it in heavier humus soil and ensure truly generous watering. The Summer Skies cultivar grows to a height of up to one and a half meters and forms beautiful blue inflorescences during June, August, and September. You will receive from us a grown seedling in a pot, fully ready for planting in the flower bed. This is a plant for slightly more advanced growers. It is good to protect it from spring invasions of slugs and in the hot summer keep an eye out for any possible occurrence of powdery mildew. The reward, however, will be perfect flowers that are made for cutting. They will stay fresh in a vase for a whole week, just keep them away from a fruit bowl due to their sensitivity to ethylene. Florists also like to use this variety in dried arrangements, because the typical blue color does not fade after drying. When handling, remember that the entire plant is poisonous. Despite its mild demands, however, thanks to its extreme frost resistance and stunning beauty, it will quickly become the star of any garden.

Joe Pye Weed Atropurpureum, Loukykvět

Eupatorium maculatum

Eupatorium 'Atropurpureum' is a stout and long-lived perennial that will bring a bold vertical element and plenty of life to your garden. In its native range on the damp meadows of North America, it forms dense stands, which is why even in the garden it will appreciate a sunny to semi-shady spot with nutritious, humous, and sufficiently moist soil, whether it is loamy or clayey. You will receive a beautifully grown potted seedling from us, which you just need to transplant to your chosen spot. Here, it will quickly form a massive clump of sturdy, dark red-purple stems that grow up to two meters tall and do not need support.

Eupatorium works excellently as a striking solitary plant in the back of a flowerbed or near water features.

Oriental Poppy Royal Wedding, Loukykvět

Papaver orientale

Oriental poppy Royal Wedding is an unmissable perennial that brings true elegance to the spring garden. It originally comes from the harsher conditions of the Caucasus, Turkey, and Iran, where it grows on sunny rocky slopes and dry meadows. Because of this, it is exceptionally resilient, easily handling frosts down to minus forty degrees, and can do without complex care. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant to a sunny location with well-drained loamy soil. The cultivar Royal Wedding will reward you in May and June with huge bowl-shaped flowers with pure white petals, which hide a distinct dark burgundy spot in their center. Moreover, these enchanting flowers reliably attract pollinators from far and wide. It is typical for Oriental poppies that their strikingly fuzzy green leaves die back soon after flowering. The plant takes a break over the warmest summer to gather strength, and a smaller portion of the leaves often sprouts again only at the end of summer. Therefore, it is ideal to plant the poppy in the flower bed in close proximity to other perennials that sprout slightly later and naturally fill the empty space left by the resting poppy. It avoids diseases and needs no support, reaching a height of around sixty to eighty centimeters. Just watch out for field voles, which might develop a taste for its fleshy roots. Otherwise, it is a long-lived plant that even a complete beginner can handle without worries. Given that the plant is poisonous, it is naturally not intended for consumption. The giant white flowers are also a great attraction for lovers of cut flowers, although they require a little trick. Similar to other poppies, the stems need to be harvested exactly at the moment when the buds begin to color and slightly crack. Right after cutting, we sear the ends of the stems with a flame for about twenty seconds to prevent sap leakage, and then we put them into cold water. Thanks to this procedure, they will stay beautiful for about four days in a vase and add amazing lightness to bouquets. Although these delicate flowers are not suitable for drying, they simply have no competition in fresh spring bouquets.

Blue Spire is an aromatic variety with airy, medium blue flowers that act as an attraction for bees and butterflies. Russian sage stands out next to drought-tolerant perennials.

Catananche caerulea

Catananche caerulea, commonly known as Cupid's dart, is a charming plant that will win you over with its lightness and airiness. Its scientific name refers to ancient Greek legends, according to which it was used in love potions; today, however, you will appreciate it more for its undemanding nature and unique appearance.

It grows up to ninety centimeters tall and, despite its height, needs no support. The flowers have a lavender-blue color with a darker center and toothed petals at the ends. They bloom gradually from June to September. Cupid's dart loves drought and heat, but on the contrary, it cannot stand winter dampness, which harms it more than frost.

Fresh flowers last a week in a vase, but they will bring you the most joy when dried. Harvest them fully open in dry weather and hang them upside down.

Coreopsis Zagreb, Loukykvět

The bright yellow flowers of tickseed will reliably illuminate any sunny garden.

It is a completely low-maintenance plant avoided by pests and diseases, making it easy for beginners to care for. It looks brilliant at the front of mixed borders, where its fine foliage fills the gaps between bolder plants. The Zagreb variety is exceptional for its compact habit and the intense golden hue of its flowers, which are a major draw for bees and other pollinators. It blooms tirelessly until early autumn, providing an abundance of material for flower arranging. The flowering stems are excellent for cutting, lasting around seven days in a vase while adding an airy lightness to displays.

Cultivation

Prepare a spot in your garden or on your terrace for this truly low-maintenance beauty. We recommend planting out the mature seedling only in the second half of May, once there is no longer a risk of ground frost. Talinum loves a hot, sunny spot, but will grow without any issues in light partial shade. Plant it in permeable, sandy soil where excess water will not collect. When planting, remember to leave a spacing of thirty to forty-five centimeters. Thanks to this distance, the bush will grow beautifully in width and to its final height of around sixty to ninety centimeters without the plants competing with each other for nutrients and light.

If you don't have a garden, you will be pleased to know that talinum is fantastic for growing in containers and window boxes on balconies. For pot cultivation, choose a lightweight, well-draining substrate mixed with sand and make sure the container has drainage holes. Regarding watering, the plant is highly drought-tolerant and does not require daily watering. In open soil, it usually gets enough from rainfall; in containers, water only after the top layer of soil has dried out. During flowering, you can add a weak dose of liquid fertilizer to support the production of a flood of tiny, five-millimeter flowers.

During the growing season, you will find that caring for this annual is incredibly easy. The plant grows very compactly and therefore requires no pinching to thicken its shape. Even in full bloom, it maintains a sturdy structure and gets by entirely without support. A great relief for every gardener is the fact that talinum suffers from no diseases and is completely immune to garden pests. You don't have to worry about aphids, caterpillars, or mold. Your only task will be to admire the thousands of tiny flowers that bloom tirelessly from June to September and are, moreover, safely edible.

The flowers are a huge attraction for bees and butterflies, bringing your garden to life. If you like creating floral arrangements, definitely cut the long stems for home; they act as an amazing veil-like filler in bouquets. Removing entire shoots also supports the plant's vitality and prolongs flowering. Subsequently, small decorative seed pods form in the autumn, which are perfect for drying and winter dry arrangements. Because talinum is an annual and winter frosts would destroy it, it does not overwinter. But don't be sad—the plant reseeds itself excellently in a suitable location, so new generations will grow for you next year without any effort on your part.

The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.

Sweet pea Mixed colors, Loukykvět

Lathyrus odoratus

Sweet pea is the uncrowned king of summer scents, bringing the romance of cottage gardens to your own. Originally from sunny Sicily, it thrives best here in the sun or partial shade. It requires humus-rich, loamy, and well-drained soil with adequate moisture. Our pre-grown potted seedling just needs to be transplanted directly to your chosen spot. Note that the sweet pea is a vigorously climbing annual that can reach a height of two and a half meters. You must definitely provide it with sturdy support. It is a plant for more advanced gardeners, and it is important to pinch it occasionally during growth to encourage richer flowering. Throughout the summer, it will reward you with flowers in a palette ranging from pure white and light pink to lilac, royal blue, and deep purple. The flowers emit a strong scent that attracts pollinators. Sweet pea is ideal for cutting into summer bouquets; however, it is not suitable for drying. Please remember that the entire plant is poisonous. Watch out for common pests like aphids and slugs.

Nasturtium Troika Yellow, Loukykvět

Tropaeolum majus

The vibrant yellow Nasturtium is a popular classic that reliably brightens up any planting. Its original home is the sunny slopes of the Andes, so it especially appreciates plenty of light and well-drained soil in your garden bed. Too many nutrients are actually harmful to it, as it will produce more leaves at the expense of flowering. We grow strong seedlings in pots for you, which you can simply plant in their permanent location as soon as you unpack them. The 'Troika Yellow' cultivar captivates with striking yellow flowers that form a perfect contrast with its typically round leaves. In the garden, it works beautifully as a ground cover or as a cascading ornament for edges. It is often planted next to vegetables, where it acts as a magnet for pollinators and distracts unwanted insects. A pleasant bonus is its culinary use; the mildly spicy yellow flowers, reminiscent of the taste of radishes, serve as an original edible garnish for dishes. While the plant does not handle floristic drying well, you can cut the stems for a loose, small bouquet; they will liven up a space in a vase for about three days.

Nasturtium Cherrelle, Loukykvět

Tropaeolum majus

The striking and completely undemanding 'Cherrelle' Nasturtium should not be missing from any garden. This vital annual comes from the Andes, so it is accustomed to full sun and well-drained soil. It manages well in sandy or poor soil, where it will bloom much more abundantly than in an over-fertilized bed. From us, you will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot, which you can plant directly outdoors. The 'Cherrelle' cultivar maintains a naturally compact, bushy growth habit to a height of around thirty to forty centimeters and does not require support or pinching. Its cherry-red flowers are fragrant and reliably attract bees from June to autumn. In a vegetable garden, Nasturtium often functions as a trap, drawing aphids to itself and protecting the rest of your crop. It is perfect for the edges of flower beds, where you can pluck its edible, spicy leaves and flowers for your plate at any time. It is not used for cutting or drying. The plant will not survive freezing temperatures, but it reliably reseeds itself for future years.
