Aquilegia vulgaris
Columbine White Barlow
The common columbine is a popular and versatile perennial that inherently belongs in both rustic and modern gardens. In the wild, it grows on forest edges and clearings throughout Europe, so a sunny or partially shaded spot with slightly moist, loamy, and humus-rich soil will suit it best in your garden. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply need to transplant into a flowerbed. There, it will become a valuable element early in the spring thanks to its early sprouting green leaves. The flowers themselves then enter the scene in May and June.
Although it is a short-lived perennial, it reliably self-seeds in a suitable location, so you definitely won't lose it in your garden. Columbine flowers act as a great attraction for bees and bumblebees, and the entire plant is absolutely low-maintenance, making it easy to grow even for beginners. It does not require support and can withstand very severe frosts dropping below thirty degrees. The 'White Barlow' cultivar stands out with an unmistakable appearance; its pure white, double flowers bring airiness and lightness to any planting. It grows to a height of about sixty to eighty centimeters and grows nicely in clumps.
Columbines are excellently applied in wild natural plantings as well as thoughtfully planned perennial compositions. The double flowers of the 'White Barlow' variety look magnificent not only in the flowerbed but also in fresh bouquets, to which they add a tender and romantic element. For cutting, it is best to choose freshly opened blooms, and they will last about seven days in a vase. Since the plant is not suitable for drying and all its parts are poisonous, it will bring you joy primarily outdoors in the garden or in the aforementioned spring vases. During the season, just occasionally check if it is bothered by aphids or powdery mildew; otherwise, it needs no special attention.

Anemone hybrida
Japanese Anemone Andrea Atkinson
Anemone hupehensis 'Andrea Atkinson' will bring a touch of delicate beauty to your garden just as summer slowly transitions into autumn. Anemones belong to the same family as buttercups and, in their native habitat, grow on the edges of light forests. They will therefore be grateful for a spot in partial shade or gentle sun with humus-rich, loamy soil. You will receive a well-grown plant in a pot from us, which you can easily transplant directly into your flower bed. It will soon settle in as a reliable and long-lived perennial that is not bothered by pests or diseases. It can even withstand harsh frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. The 'Andrea Atkinson' cultivar grows to approximately one meter in height and forms sturdy stems that do not require support. Above the dark green leaves, pure white flowers bloom from August to October, acting as a magnet for pollinators. It stands out excellently against the darker background of shrub groups. The elegant flowers are suitable for cutting for vases, where they remain fresh for about seven days. While not suitable for drying, the dried stems provide a beautiful winter effect in the bed. Like other anemones, this plant is poisonous, which is good to keep in mind when caring for it.

Lythrum virgatum
Loosestrife White Swirl
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
Loosestrife Swirl
'Swirl' is a profusely flowering cultivar of wand loosestrife that will bring lightness and elegance to your garden. Compared to the common purple loosestrife, it has much airier inflorescences and a more slender habit, so it doesn't spread as much in flower beds. It grows to a height of about one meter and adorns the garden with its purplish-pink flowers all summer long. Although its natural home is in moister habitats, it is surprisingly tolerant to drier conditions compared to other species. This makes it a versatile plant that you can place both near water features and in mixed perennial plantings, where it beautifully complements grasses or other moisture-loving perennials. In addition to summer flowering, the loosestrife will delight you even at the end of the season. Its smooth and narrow leaves turn striking shades of red in the autumn, creating an interesting contrast to fading plants. It is an ideal choice for beginners because it requires no support, does not suffer from diseases, and is fully frost-resistant. If you like to create bouquets, don't hesitate to cut a few stems for a vase; they look very natural and wild in floral decorations. The plant is also a great attraction for bees and butterflies, providing them with plenty of nectar.

Sesleria caerulea
Blue Moor Grass
Blue moor grass is an elegant and undemanding native grass that livens up the spring garden at a time when other plants are just waking up. In the wild, it naturally grows in warmer areas on rocks and sunny slopes with well-drained soil. It forms dense, neat clumps growing to a height of about thirty centimeters. Its main advantage is its striking grayish-green and dark green leaves, which, with sufficient moisture, remain evergreen all year round. During April and May, the moor grass blooms with interesting brown spikelets. Over time, these flowers naturally fade into soft beige tones, and when dried, they are perfectly suited as a delicate addition to small dry arrangements. In flowerbeds, it represents an ideal companion for spring bulbs, with which it forms very harmonious compositions. Cultivation can easily be managed even by a beginner, as the plant does not suffer from any diseases or pests and can withstand frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees without damage.

Nepeta faassenii
Catmint Six Hills Giant
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. The faassenii group is characterized by vigorous upright growth, fine foliage, and long stems suitable for cutting. Six Hills Giant has a slightly lighter flower color than Walker's Low. It grows in airy clumps and blooms very profusely. Long stems suitable for cutting.

Phlox paniculata
Phlox Franz Schubert
Phlox, known as 'plamenka' in Czech, is originally a native perennial from the moister meadows and forest edges of North America. It soon achieved great popularity in European gardens and has been systematically bred since the nineteenth century. It is a classic garden perennial that brings a romantic mood and abundant floods of flowers to summer beds. The approximately one meter tall straight stems are adorned with deep green leaves and bear dense inflorescences on top from July to August. At the same time, the whole plant smells very pleasantly, which acts as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies from the wide surroundings.
Although phlox is very easy to grow and even complete beginners can manage the care, it pays to pay attention to the correct choice of location. We send customers already mature seedlings in a pot, which you can easily transplant directly into the garden. Here, phlox thrives best in a sunny to semi-shady location with loamy, humous, and well-drained soil. It is ideal to keep a spacing of about fifty centimeters when planting so that each clump has enough space to grow. They like plenty of moisture, and stable humidity is important to them. During severe drought, they can react sensitively and be more susceptible to powdery mildew, so they will welcome more abundant watering in the hot summer. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about pests; they avoid it. As for winter, you can throw your worries behind you, because the plant can handle severe frosts down to minus thirty-four degrees.
In ornamental beds, phlox stands out both individually in larger groups and in combination with other summer perennials or shorter ornamental grasses. Furthermore, it is an absolutely ideal plant for cutting into vases. It will lend your home not only beautiful pastel colors but also its unmistakable sweet scent. We recommend harvesting stems for bouquets when approximately half of the flowers in the main inflorescence are already fully open. If you provide them with clean water, they will reward you with extraordinary durability and will easily last ten days in a vase.
The Franz Schubert variety attracts with purple to pink flowers that fade towards the edges. The pastel color stands out in the vicinity of darker-colored plants.

In flowerbeds, the prairie mallow perfectly complements classic combinations with roses, but it also fits perfectly into wilder plantings in the company of ornamental grasses.
