Liatris Floristan Violett, Loukykvět

Liatris spicata

Liatris Floristan Violett

An interesting tuberous perennial with flowers blooming from the top down, that is exactly the popular dense blazing star. Precisely because of this rare peculiarity, where its long inflorescences bloom unconventionally from the tip downwards, it earned its fitting alternative Czech name "shorakvět" (top-flower). Its roots reach the sunny prairies and grassy meadows of North America, which is why it thrives most in direct sun in our gardens too. It does best long-term in well-drained, loamy, and humous soil, where it is provided with regular watering. The 'Floristan Violett' variety will brighten any space with a striking dark purple color. Its unusually shaped flowers appear gradually from July to September and confidently attract an abundance of beneficial bees, bumblebees, and butterflies to the garden. We will deliver a grown seedling straight to you in a pot, which is fully ready for immediate planting. Blazing star grows to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, and its sturdy stems with narrow green leaves stand perfectly straight even without artificial support. It is a completely low-maintenance plant, so even complete beginner gardeners will easily handle growing it. It easily tolerates extreme frosts well below minus thirty degrees and naturally avoids all diseases. You should only be on the lookout if you have field voles in the garden, which may be attracted to its swollen tubers. In perennial beds, it forms beautiful vertical lines and, in a suitable place, willingly self-seeds into the surroundings. Floristically, it is an immensely valuable and rewarding species for any occasion. The dark purple spikes apply excellently in fresh summer bouquets, where they reliably function as a striking structural element. If you prefer dried arrangements, simply cut the blazing star and dry it; it perfectly retains its shape and rich color. But you definitely don't have to harvest everything for the vase. The dry stems left in the beds create a very eye-catching winter effect and give the resting garden a completely new and interesting dimension over the winter. Show full description

Liatris Floristan White, Loukykvět

Liatris spicata

The pure white flowers of the 'Floristan White' variety bring elegant vertical lines and a completely novel look to summer beds. Blazing star is very popular among growers thanks to its peculiarity; it blooms exactly the opposite of most other plants, from the tip of the inflorescence downwards, which has earned it the fitting folk name "shorakvět" (top-flower) in our country. Its natural homeland is the North American prairies, where it grows in open sunny areas with nutritious and well-drained humous soil. Exactly such conditions will be ideal for it in your garden as well. We send customers grown seedlings directly in pots, which take root quickly after being transplanted into the ground and soon form vigorous clumps of narrow green leaves. Caring for this perennial is truly undemanding, and beginner gardeners can embark on it without worry. The plant grows to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, has stable stems that do not require support, is avoided by diseases, and excels in reliable frost resistance, as it can withstand temperatures down to minus thirty-four degrees. The only unwanted visitor can be the field vole, which is sometimes attracted to its tubers. From mid-summer to early autumn, you can look forward to blooming, which makes the plant a living magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In beds, it looks great in larger groups and gets along perfectly with ornamental grasses. The flowers apply excellently in floristry, because they stay fresh for a long time in a vase and liven up any bouquet. Furthermore, it pays off to leave the stems on the bed in autumn, as they provide a beautiful spectacle for winter interest.

Feather grass Pony Tails, Loukykvět

Stipa tenuissima

Feather grass flowers capture attention in beds and bouquets with their lightness and delicacy. All feather grasses love full sun and dry, stony, well-drained soil. To look most natural in beds, it is good to plant them in loose groups of several pieces together with other drought-loving perennials and bulbs. Only then do their stems and inflorescences, set in motion by the slightest breath of wind, truly stand out. Stipa 'Ponny Tails' is a species native to the steppes of Mexico, Texas, and Patagonia. Airy, dense clumps of hair-like delicate leaves resemble horsehair. The leaves are green, turning up to straw-colored towards the flowers. In a suitable location, it also self-seeds.

Shoofly plant Blue, Loukykvět

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 is excellently suited for natural-style gardens, gravel beds, and drought-tolerant plantings, where it beautifully complements other perennials or ornamental grasses. 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.

Red Valerian Rosato Rose Pink, Loukykvět

Centranthus ruber

The 'Rosato Rose Pink' valerian is a richly flowering perennial whose original homeland is the sunny and warm Mediterranean.

It is completely undemanding, does not need support, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and can handle frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. Although it belongs among short-lived perennials, it reliably self-seeds in a suitable location. Among perennials, valerian has an unrivaled longest blooming period.

Before winter, it is also good to keep in mind that its frost resistance reaches minus fifteen degrees, and to provide it with suitable protection. Also remember that all parts of the lobelia are poisonous, so it is advisable to consider the planting location with regard to pets.

Cultivation

Pokud hledáte originální a bezúdržbovou trvalku na slunná místa, pěstování šuškardy vás určitě nadchne. Jelikož dodáváme kvalitní a dobře prokořeněné sazenice v květináčích, odpadá vám starost s náročným klíčením a rostlinu můžete bez obav vysadit na záhon rovnou. Nejvíce jí vyhovuje horké slunné stanoviště a propustná, na humus bohatá zemina. Výborně snáší i sušší půdní podmínky, ale musíte si dát pozor na místa, kde se na podzim nebo na jaře drží voda. V přemokřené, těžké jílovité půdě by její hlíznaté kořeny mohly rychle uhnít. Rostliny sázejte s rozestupem pětadvacet centimetrů od sebe, což dělá zhruba devět až dvanáct kusů na metr čtvereční. V tomto sponu se nebudou vzájemně utlačovat a vytvoří hustý, ale vzdušný porost.
Péče o šuškardu v průběhu roku nevyžaduje žádné odborné znalosti, což z ní dělá ideální volbu pro začátečníky. Pro úspěšné pěstování se držte několika základních pravidel:
  • Zálivka: Vodu dodávejte rostlině s rozumem, střední zálivka je naprosto ideální. Jakmile sazenice dobře zakoření, zvládne i delší období bez deště.
  • Hnojení: Pro bohatou násadu květů můžete na jaře přidat trochu běžného zahradního kompostu, ale další přihnojování během léta už není potřeba.
  • Opora a údržba: Květenství se otevírají neobvykle odshora dolů a pevné stonky nepotřebují žádnou oporu.
  • Zdraví rostliny: Šuškarda je navíc velmi odolná, nepotýká se s žádnými nepříjemnými chorobami. Jediným nepřítelem v zahradě může být hraboš polní.
Zazimování této vytrvalé byliny je naprosto bezstarostné. Šuškarda vyniká extrémní mrazuvzdorností, hravě odolá teplotám klesajícím až k minus třiceti čtyřem stupňům Celsia. Na podzim se nemusíte trápit s žádným stříháním, suché stonky s odkvetlými klasy naopak na záhoně ponechte. Vytvářejí totiž velmi poutavý zimní efekt, zvlášť když je ojíněná rána ozdobí krystalky ledu. Jarní úklid pak spočívá jen v tom, že odumřelé nadzemní části seříznete blízko u země, a tím uvolníte cestu pro čerstvé zelené listy. Pokud si přejete pěstovat šuškardu v nádobě, i to je skvělá volba. Stačí zvolit větší květináč s drenážními otvory na dně a zajistit pravidelnější zálivku, jelikož substrát na slunném balkóně vysychá mnohem rychleji než volná půda v zahradě.

Liatris Floristan White, Loukykvět

Liatris spicata

The pure white flowers of the 'Floristan White' variety bring elegant vertical lines and a completely novel look to summer beds. Blazing star is very popular among growers thanks to its peculiarity; it blooms exactly the opposite of most other plants, from the tip of the inflorescence downwards, which has earned it the fitting folk name "shorakvět" (top-flower) in our country. Its natural homeland is the North American prairies, where it grows in open sunny areas with nutritious and well-drained humous soil. Exactly such conditions will be ideal for it in your garden as well. We send customers grown seedlings directly in pots, which take root quickly after being transplanted into the ground and soon form vigorous clumps of narrow green leaves. Caring for this perennial is truly undemanding, and beginner gardeners can embark on it without worry. The plant grows to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, has stable stems that do not require support, is avoided by diseases, and excels in reliable frost resistance, as it can withstand temperatures down to minus thirty-four degrees.

From mid-summer to early autumn, you can look forward to blooming, which makes the plant a living magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In beds, it looks great in larger groups and gets along perfectly with ornamental grasses. The flowers apply excellently in floristry, because they stay fresh for a long time in a vase and liven up any bouquet.

Lady's mantle Irish Silk, Loukykvět

Alchemilla mollis

Alchemilla mollis, known as lady's mantle, is an indispensable perennial for anyone who wants to bring harmony and softness to the garden. Its home is the moister environments of mountain meadows and light forests, making it a very adaptable plant that will survive even severe frosts without problems in our climate. The 'Irish Silk' cultivar is prized for its vitality and abundant blooming, where clouds of tiny, yellow-green flowers float above clumps of gray-green leaves. It is precisely this neutral color that can work wonders in a flower bed – it softens overly sharp contrasts between other flowers and beautifully unifies the entire composition. Besides its ornamental function, lady's mantle also has practical uses. Thanks to its clumping growth and ability to quickly fill in, it is ideal for edging pathways or as an underplanting beneath taller shrubs and roses. Water droplets catch on its leaves, creating a magical spectacle in the garden. If you enjoy making bouquets, you will love lady's mantle as versatile filler greenery that matches almost anything. It will last beautiful for about ten days in a vase, and its inflorescences can also be easily dried without losing too much of their color or shape. Moreover, it is a magnet for pollinators, and its young leaves are even edible, so it also finds use in a natural kitchen.

Sea Holly, Loukykvět
For drying

Eryngium planum

Sea holly is an indispensable perennial for all lovers of naturally styled gardens. It earned its folk name - male fidelity - in times when it was used in herbal medicine as an aphrodisiac, and its roots were even candied as sweets in France and England.

If you decide not to harvest it, feel free to leave it in the flowerbed all winter. Its silhouette covered in hoarfrost creates a wonderful winter effect.
