It fits perfectly into plantings around ponds and in damper places in the garden. It is suitable for naturalistic gardens and compositions. We can also use it well for cutting for vases.

If you are looking for a delicate and long-blooming plant for full sun, whorled tickseed is a great choice. The basic species originates from North America, and here it thrives best in a sunny spot and well-drained, rather drier loamy soil. Although it is a short-lived perennial, with the right care and a well-chosen location, it can bring joy for several years. A distinctive feature of this species is its rich foliage of very tiny leaves, which form low, about forty-centimeter-tall bushes. After transplanting from the pot, the mature seedling is perfectly suited for the edges of flower beds or mixed drought-tolerant compositions, where it beautifully softens the overall look. In addition, the plant is fully frost-hardy, requires no special care, and is free from diseases. The 'Moonbeam' variety stands out with countless smaller, creamy-yellow flowers. These appear in mid-summer and continue to decorate the garden until early autumn, providing rich pasture for pollinators. You can easily cut the delicate stems with flowers to bring home. They will add an informal meadow touch to bouquets and will maintain their freshness in a vase for about seven days.

Broad-leaved statice, also known as sea lavender, is a plant originally from the steppe regions of southern Europe. Leathery leaves form a basal rosette. From these, veil-like panicles formed by tiny light lavender flowers grow. Perfect for bouquets; for drying, harvest when the flowers are fully colored.

A perennial species of Verbena native to North America. In natural habitats, it grows in wet meadows, pastures, and along water bodies. It is a great attractant for bees and butterflies. Although not very long-lived, it can maintain itself by self-seeding in good conditions. It blooms gradually over a long period with many tiny flowers. The spent flower heads are also effective, both in beds and bouquets. The cultivar Pink Spires stands out with a sturdy upright habit and flowers in a soft pink color.

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.

Originally a native wild perennial that can be found in moist meadows, in shallow waters, or marshy edges of water bodies. In autumn, the leaves turn orange-red. Blush is a lower cultivar among loosestrifes. The flowers are pure light pink and combine well with other perennials.

This Cornflower comes from the Caucasus, where it grows in mountain meadows and pastures. Over the years, the clumps spread via runners. It looks natural in combination with other robust perennials. It lasts about a week in a vase.

Gaura Siskiyou Pink is a charming perennial that brings lightness and airiness to the garden. Its original native area is in the warm regions of Texas and Louisiana, which is why it thrives in full sun and well-drained sandy soil. It grows in clumps and from June until the autumn frosts produces tiny raspberry-pink flowers that resemble fluttering butterflies. An interesting detail of this variety is the green leaves with a bronze tint and red spots. It is an absolutely undemanding plant, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and even beginners can handle its care. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply need to transplant directly into the flowerbed. Here it complements ornamental grasses perfectly and acts as an attraction for bees and bumblebees. Although it grows more as a short-lived perennial in our climate, in a suitable place it reliably self-seeds. Occasional pinching will encourage richer branching. Gaura is excellent for summer bouquets. We cut the stems for a vase as soon as the first two to three little flowers open.

In nature, we find it in steppes on dry pastures and stony slopes of Central and Southern Europe. It is a well-known plant used in floristry. Excellently usable in both fresh and dried states. For drying, we select only stems with fully opened flowers. We hang them flowers-down in a dry, airy, and dark place.

These autumn asters were bred specifically for florist use. They are characterized by strong, straight, and upright stems and an exceptionally abundant set of flowers. Pearla is a white variety with a tiny flower about fifteen millimeters in size. Vase life is 10 days.

The bright yellow flowers of the Thermopsis 'Sunrise' will brighten up your garden as early as late May, when striking raceme inflorescences appear on its sturdy stems. In appearance, it slightly resembles the well-known lupine, but unlike it, it is an exceptionally long-lived and hardy perennial. It naturally grows on open slopes and mountain meadows in Asia, which is why it will do best in full sun or light partial shade in well-drained loamy soil. From the supplied mature potted seedling, a rich clump reaching up to eighty centimeters in height will quickly grow after transplanting into the flowerbed. The plant develops a very strong root system, which helps it survive drought and severe frosts without difficulty. These deep roots even excellently stabilize the soil, so Thermopsis is often used in slope and anti-erosion plantings. During flowering, bees and other beneficial insects gather around the plant, for which it is a sought-after food source. The 'Sunrise' cultivar requires no special care, is avoided by diseases and pests, and will bring joy even to complete beginners. It fits perfectly into colorful perennial beds, and its long, sturdy stems are perfect for cutting into a vase, where they create a beautiful spring detail.

Penstemon digitalis Husker Red is a relatively robust and long-lived perennial with attractive bronze-purple foliage and white-purple flowers.

The charming Gaura 'Whirling Butterflies' is exactly the perennial that will give any flower bed a relaxed, natural look. It originally comes from the dry and hot plains of southern North America, which clearly suggests that it loves sunshine and well-drained sandy soil. You will receive from us a beautifully grown seedling in a pot, which you can simply transplant straight into the garden. Here, it will soon form a dense clump of green leaves, from which long, thin stems dotted with flowers emerge all summer until October. These flowers open in a pure white color and gradually take on a slight pinkish tone. Furthermore, the abundant blooming reliably attracts pollinators, for whom the plant is a great source of food. It can handle even stronger frosts down to minus eighteen degrees. It looks excellent in mixed plantings next to drought-tolerant grasses or other undemanding species. Although it is a short-lived perennial, it willingly self-seeds, meaning it will stay with you in its location for a very long time. If you like creating fresh summer bouquets, Gaura will definitely not disappoint you. You just need to cut the stems the moment the first small flowers open. It is a completely undemanding species without serious diseases, which needs no support and will forgive even beginner mistakes.

The obedient plant is native to the eastern regions of North America, where it is most often found on riverbanks and wet meadows. Therefore, in the garden, it appreciates humus-rich soil that doesn't dry out, and loves a sunny spot or partial shade. It forms upright and dense clumps that gradually spread into the surroundings via root runners, and can thus fill empty spaces in the flower bed over time. The inflorescences have the shape of a slender spike with four rows of tubular flowers and resemble well-known snapdragons in appearance. It is a rewarding perennial that does not suffer from pests or diseases here and is suitable even for beginner growers. The 'Vivid' variety is shorter and more compact than the original species, growing to a height of about 70 to 80 centimeters and standing out with its striking purple-pink color. It blooms abundantly from August to October, thereby extending the season of color in the garden. For cutting into a vase, harvest the stems the moment the first flowers in the spike open. They stay fresh in water for 10 to 14 days and gradually bloom in the vase. They perfectly complement dahlias, for example, and after blooming, the dry seed pods are also interesting and can be used in dried arrangements.

The 'White Swirl' wand loosestrife gives a much more elegant and airy impression in the garden than its better-known relative, the purple loosestrife. It is characterized by a slimmer growth habit and smooth, narrow leaves that beautifully turn into dark red tones in the autumn, thereby extending the visual effect of the plant until the end of the season. The 'White Swirl' cultivar is prized for its delicate, pure white flower spikes, which tower up to a height of one meter and bring lightness and light to the plantings. Although loosestrifes generally love water and we find them in moist meadows in nature, this species surprisingly deals well with slightly less moisture. You can therefore plant it without worry not only along the edges of ponds but also in common perennial beds with loamy or clayey soil. From July to September, it becomes a magnet for bees and other pollinators. Furthermore, the sturdy stems are suitable for cutting into summer bouquets.

Lythrum virgatum is more elegant and slender than the better-known purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). It also has much airier inflorescences. The leaves are smooth and narrower, turning up to a dark red in autumn. Dropmore Purple blooms with purple to reddish-violet flowers arranged in slender spikes.

Linaria purpurea is a tireless perennial that will brighten up the garden with its purple flower spikes from July to October. It is native to the Mediterranean, thanks to which it perfectly tolerates drought and poorer soils, provided they are well-drained. It forms airy clumps that are suitable for natural-style plantings or gravel beds, where they contrast beautifully with ornamental grasses. Even though individual plants live for only a few years, they reliably maintain themselves through self-seeding, so you do not have to worry about them too much. Toadflax is also very valuable for bees and bumblebees, which visit it abundantly. Thanks to its strong and long stems, it is perfect for cutting and stays fresh in a vase for up to two weeks.

Mullein brings a touch of wild nature and unusual elegance to the garden. In their natural habitat, these majestic plants colonize sun-drenched locations and dry slopes, which gives them extraordinary resilience. They thrive best in full sun in well-drained, rather sandy soil, where they do not suffer from winter moisture. Although it is a short-lived perennial, thanks to its height of up to one hundred and twenty centimeters, it forms an unmissable vertical element in the flowerbeds. It fits perfectly into steppe areas alongside fine drought-tolerant grasses and other perennials. During May and June, its tall stems become a sought-after pasture for bees and other pollinators. The plant easily handles frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees and does not suffer from diseases or pests, so transplanting and growing this seedling is suitable even for complete beginners. If you like to decorate your interior, you can also use mullein in summer bouquets. We harvest the stems when about half of the flowers in the inflorescence are open, and they last around five days in a vase. The Southern Charm cultivar is exceptional for its coloration. The flowers bloom in soft peach and apricot tones and transition into an elegant dusty pink color as they fade.

Avens Tempest Scarlet brings a flood of vibrant colors and spring freshness to the garden. The original species of avens grow in moister but well-drained meadows and light forest edges, which is why they thrive best here in sun or partial shade in humus-rich loamy soil. You will receive an already rooted seedling in a pot from us, which you can easily transplant straight to your chosen spot. Avens are generally very undemanding plants, do not need any support, and effortlessly withstand frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. The Tempest Scarlet cultivar was bred in Scotland and stands out with the deep scarlet color of its semi-double, slightly ruffled flowers, which bloom on long branched stems from May to July. After a summer break, it will often delight you with another blooming in the autumn. With its clumping growth, it will eventually form a nice ground cover, and its flowers attract bees and butterflies. It is an excellent perennial for mixed flowerbeds as well as for cutting.

Common pests and diseases avoid it, making it an ideal choice for complete beginners.

Hollyhocks are a necessity for every lover of rural atmosphere. We traditionally associate them with sunny cottage gardens, even though they came to Europe with ancient travelers along the Silk Road all the way from the steppes of Central Asia. And the taste for travel has remained with the hollyhock. It often self-seeds and you will find it in a place where you certainly didn't plant it. Naturally, it is a biennial or short-lived perennial. However, its instability is balanced by beautiful double flowers and a distinct silhouette and height. It is suitable for cutting and was also used for dyeing and as a medicinal plant. The Spotlight series includes cultivars with single flowers. Their great advantage, in addition to naturally better resistance of flowers to rain, is overall greater hardiness and persistence. They are more perennial than double-flowered forms, which retain the properties of biennials.

The Little Henry cultivar is indeed exceptional in its shape; the yellow petals are rolled up into narrow tubes and surround a prominent brown center. Compared to the original species, this variant is slightly shorter, growing to about one meter, and blooms slightly earlier. In the flowerbed, it perfectly complements tall ornamental grasses and fits into both modern gravel plantings and rustic cottage gardens. Although it is not a fragrant lure, its edible flowers attract bees, bumblebees, and butterflies from the wide surroundings. Florists like to use it for cutting. We cut the stems into a vase as soon as the flowers open, and they stay fresh in water for seven to ten days. It also looks beautiful in dry arrangements, where the prominent center cones themselves can be used. If you decide not to harvest it, leave the plant in the flowerbed all winter. The dried centers covered in frost and snow create an exceptionally captivating winter spectacle.

Anemones come from the same family as buttercups. With their elegant flowers on long slender stems, they can enliven and brighten up late summer and autumn flowerbeds. They stand out against the darker background of shrub groups and will also appreciate their partial shade.
