Hellebores are evergreen perennials that form slowly expanding clumps of leathery, dark green leaves. The stems usually bear four to five flowers. They bloom very early, already at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. They are usable for a vase only after conspicuous seed pods form in the center of the flower and the flower matures. Earlier, they tend to wilt, and the stems cannot hold the flower upright. All parts of the plant are poisonous. The 'Double Ellen Yellow Spotted' hellebore has light yellow-green semi-double flowers with striking, dark burgundy spotting.

A valuable garden and medicinal perennial, native to North America. The spiky central discs are an irresistible attraction for butterflies. They last 7–10 days in a vase.

Agastache Alabaster, also known as wrinkled agastache, comes from regions of China and Japan, where it naturally grows in sunny and drier habitats. Its deep green toothed leaves resemble a nettle at first glance, but don't worry, it certainly doesn't sting. On the contrary, it will pleasantly surprise you, because when rubbed between your fingers, it releases a very pleasant minty-anise scent. Furthermore, these fragrant leaves and white flowers are edible, and you can use them to decorate summer dishes or drinks. You will receive an already mature seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant directly into your garden, where it will bring joy for many years. It will thrive in full sun in well-drained, loamy or sandy soil. It is a stable, upright-growing perennial that reaches a height of eighty to one hundred centimeters in full vigor. During the summer and early autumn, roughly from July to the end of September, it produces dense spike-like inflorescences. These act as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, so your garden will gain a lot of useful life thanks to it. Agastache is a very hardy and robust plant that successfully handles our winters, as it tolerates frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. At the same time, it is completely undemanding, naturally does not suffer from diseases or pests, and therefore its cultivation is easily managed even by complete beginners. It looks excellent in perennial beds when planted in larger groups, maintaining a spacing of about half a meter. For lovers of fresh flowers, Agastache is an incredibly rewarding choice for cutting into a vase. The freshly cut stems will last beautifully in your home for about seven days and bring a light spicy scent with them. The flowers are also floristically very interesting even after blooming, when the long inflorescences retain their firm structure. They can be easily dried and used in various dried arrangements or autumn decorations. The specific Alabaster cultivar stands out with the pure white color of its flowers. Thanks to this neutral and fresh shade, it looks very delicate and easily matches absolutely any color combination, whether directly in the flowerbed or later in a tied bouquet.

Catmints are ideal companions for roses, suitable for naturalistic gardens, and lower species also for boxes and pots. Some of them are an irresistible attraction for cats, caused by the hallucinogen nepetalactone. This should be present in the highest amount in the species Nepeta cataria. Conversely, lemon-scented catmints reportedly do not attract cats. The botanical name Nepeta likely comes from the name of the ancient Etruscan city Nepet - Nepi in the territory of today's Italian province of Viterbo, where the plant was once cultivated. Nepeta racemosa naturally grows on dry meadows and rocky, stony slopes from the Caucasus to Central Asia. It has aromatic grey-green leaves and forms a tufted semi-spherical bush. Walker’s Low got its name after an Irish estate where it was bred in 1970. It has the most intense blue-violet flower coloration.

The inflorescences initially have a soft pink tinge, then change color to yellow-brown or reddish-brown.

Rudbeckia Goldsturm is a reliable and long-lived perennial that will bring the warm tones of late summer and autumn into your garden.

It is a completely undemanding plant, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and easily survives severe frosts. The Goldsturm cultivar grows to a height of about seventy centimeters and does not need support. From August to October, it produces a flood of golden-yellow flowers with distinctly dark centers. These edible flowers attract pollinators and fit perfectly into both prairie and rustic plantings. Rudbeckia is also great for cutting, lasting around ten days in a vase. In addition, the distinctive dark centers can be easily dried. If you leave them in the flower bed over the winter, they will provide a wonderful spectacle.

The Agastache 'Black Adder' cultivar is a sturdy and attractive perennial that you will simply not overlook in the garden. Its wild ancestors come from the sun-drenched regions of East Asia, primarily Japan and China. Therefore, it is best suited here to a sunny location and well-drained sandy or loamy soil, where unnecessary moisture will not be retained around it. A beautifully mature potted seedling will arrive at your home from us, which simply needs to be transplanted directly outside into the flowerbed, ideally with a spacing of fifty centimeters. It will quickly take root and soon form massive upright stems almost one meter tall. It does not need any support and perfectly complements other drought-tolerant perennials. Even though the leaves strikingly resemble nettle leaves, you don't have to be afraid of them. They offer only a refreshing mint and anise scent. Moreover, these aromatic leaves and the blue flowers themselves are edible and suitable for garnishing your culinary creations. 'Black Adder' is exceptional for its very dark flower coloration and an unusually long blooming period from July to September. The blue flowers act literally as a magnet for bees and butterflies. The plant is excellent for cutting into fresh arrangements, maintaining its freshness in a vase for about seven days. The fading spike-like inflorescences do not lose their shape and look constantly very captivating.

Giant scabious is an imposing solitary perennial that will bring a striking vertical structure and natural wild charm to the garden. It comes from the mountain meadows of the Caucasus, which dictates its growing requirements. From the delivered seedling, a highly noticeable plant with a massive, sparsely branched growth will quickly grow in full sun or partial shade and humus-rich loamy soil. Given its dimensions, we recommend planting one piece per square meter. It commonly reaches a height of up to two and a half meters, yet it needs no support at all. From June to August, it forms scabiosa-like flowers in pastel yellow to lime colors on long stems. This creates a very effective contrast between the relatively massive bulk of green leaves and the airy, wiry stems with small flower heads. It resists frosts down to minus thirty-four degrees without any problems, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and easily self-seeds. It is a highly attractive lure for bees and other pollinators. The unusual flowers are perfectly suited for cutting; they last about five days in a vase. The faded inflorescences are also interesting, useful for drying and floristry purposes.

The original home of bleeding hearts is Korea and China, where they grow in light deciduous forests. They are classic garden perennials. They will look perfect in nostalgically styled flower beds; the white variant fits well even into naturalistic woodland gardens. They are popular for their heart-shaped flowers hanging on horizontal or arching stems. These weaken and die back some time after flowering; all the plant's energy then concentrates in the roots, and at that moment, we can cut the above-ground part back completely. For the rest of the year, we won't even know the bleeding heart is in the garden. It will remind us of its charm again in the spring. Perfect vase life, at least 7 days. Harvest when the first 3–4 flowers open on the stem. Alba has beautiful pure white flowers; the shoots sprouting in spring are light lime green.

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. During the summer, from July to September, it forms trailing cascades of striking leafy bracts, from which tiny pink flowers peek out. These flowers act as an irresistible lure for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Although the Kent Beauty variety is primarily grown for its exceptional appearance, its green leaves are fully edible and carry a typical spicy aroma. It looks gorgeous not only in the flower bed, but it is also excellent for drying.
