Phlox Cherry Caramel

Na přelomu jara a léta chybí velké plné květy. Odkvetou poslední pryskyřníky a zbývá hodně času, než dokvetou první jiřiny. U nás na farmě byl tou dobou vždy boj najít krásné plné a velké květy do kytic.  Ale podařilo se! Vzduchoprázdno jsme vyplnili astrami a pivoňkovitými máky. Tyto máky spolehlivě nahradí pivoňku, pryskyřník i jiřinu. Jen je třeba mít na paměti, že nevydrží kvést dlouho a potřebují trochu péče, aby v kytici držely.  Sklízíme puklé poupě, konce stonků spaříme na pár sekund ve vodě a necháme dokvést ve váze. Pivoňkovitý mák Salmon je v barvě teplé růžové.

Inca Verda Green is a shade of vibrant green. This year again, we had a large harvest of Celosia! We say it at every workshop: celosia has an extra interesting texture for bouquets. Neither green nor flower, it makes a bouquet special like a cherry on top. Act is a series specially bred for cutting, with long, straight stems and large heads.

A great specialty! Sylphid is a light greenish-yellow, delicate shade that suits all color combinations. Globe amaranth has an interesting texture for bouquets, making them unique, and it also dries wonderfully for winter arrangements. One plant produces one stronger stem and 5-7 smaller side shoots.

Blue lace. Blue can be a problem in summer, as nothing much blooms in this color, but here's a tip for a great find. Didiscus has an unusual name, but it's a great beauty similar to blue lace flower (Didiscus coeruleus) or ornamental carrot. The flowers are disc-shaped with tiny florets. Didiscus flowers more quickly, similar to blue lace flower or ornamental carrot, so we recommend multiple successive sowings. It loves warmth, so it can also be sown in summer.

Summer stock is a fantastic cut flower! It loves cool temperatures, and we can still grow three batches a year – two in spring and one in autumn. You'll harvest only one flower per plant, but it will be a truly large, fully double bloom. Stock has a wonderfully intoxicating scent and lasts a long time in a vase. The flowers are edible. Katz series is not as susceptible to temperature changes and is generally easier for beginner gardeners to grow. However, this comes at the cost of thinner stems and a smaller proportion of double-flowered specimens. Katz Apricot is the most beautiful shade of skin-tone apricot. All stocks have some plants with double flowers and some with single. The proportion varies with each series. Katz has 55-60% double-flowered plants. Therefore, we recommend growing a bit more. But here on our farm, we also use the single ones; they are super unique.

Classic Magic features white flowers with a purple center, purple, and shades transitioning to burgundy. A blackcurrant with cream combination. Cornflower is a classic in every garden, and the Classic series cornflowers are excellent growers! Strong, straight stems ensure excellent quality cut flowers.
