Caryopteris clandonensis
Bluebeard Stephi
Bluebeard 'Stephi' will bring a summer mood to your garden that lasts until late autumn. This smaller shrub is derived from species originally growing on the sunny and dry slopes of East Asia. Therefore, even in our conditions, it thoroughly enjoys full sun, heat, and excellently drained sandy-loam soil. It easily handles drought and does not suffer from diseases or pests. From August to September, it forms dense panicles of flowers, which in the 'Stephi' cultivar have an unusual light pink color. This creates a delicate contrast with the fragrant grayish-green leaves. During bloom, the shrub is besieged by bees and butterflies, for whom it provides valuable late pasture. It perfectly fits into gravel and Mediterranean-style beds. You will receive a mature seedling in a pot from us, which you can simply transplant outside. Even beginners can easily manage its care. The twigs are suitable for cutting for vases, and the ornamental seed heads decorate the garden or dried arrangements even during winter.

Nepeta racemosa
Catmint Walker’s Low
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.

Water Avens
Water avens is a charming native perennial that inherently belongs to moist meadows and stream banks. In the garden, it thrives best in loamy or clay soil that retains plenty of moisture. It grows excellently in both full sun and partial shade. You will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant into the flower bed, where it will soon form a nice ground cover. From May to July, it blooms with semi-double flowers on stems thirty to sixty centimeters tall.

Quaking grass Limouzi
Quaking grass 'Limouzi' is an undemanding and very charming native grass that naturally grows in sunny meadows and pastures with poorer and well-drained soil. From May onwards, long thin stalks sprout from its dense green clumps, carrying delicate spikelets in the shape of small hearts swaying on them.

This short-lived perennial, growing to a height of around half a meter, is perfectly suited to complement colorful steppe plantings, where it creates a soft filler between more prominently flowering species. It will also find its use among beginner growers, as it does not suffer from diseases or pests and handles strong frosts without problems. The airy inflorescences of quaking grass are perfect for cutting into summer bouquets and for drying for various floristry purposes. After blooming, roughly at the end of summer, it is good to trim the clumps, which will encourage their fresh appearance.

Hesperis matronalis
Sweet Rocket White
Sweet rocket is a plant that should not be missing in any cottage garden. It originally comes from moister forest edges and meadows, so it thrives in humous and well-draining soil in full sun or partial shade. It is rather a short-lived perennial or biennial, but in a suitable location, it reliably maintains itself by self-seeding. It stands out with its captivating fragrance, which fully develops only with the arrival of evening, thereby attracting moths and other pollinators. This pure white variant adds elegance and freshness to flowerbeds. It is perfectly suited as a companion plant to roses or as an undergrowth beneath taller shrubs and trees, where it creates a brightening element. If you grow it for cutting, harvest the stems the moment the first few blooms open.

Cultivation
Successful cultivation of bluebeard starts with choosing the right spot. This smaller shrub needs a hot, sunny place, so give it a location in the garden where the sun's rays hit for most of the day. Transplant the seedling, which you will receive from us in a container, exclusively into well-draining soil, ideally if it is naturally sandy or loamy. The plant does not care for rich nutrition; on the contrary, humous soils full of nutrients are rather harmful to its health. For proper growth, plant the seedlings with a spacing of 80 cm apart. In practice, you will place only 1 to 2 seedlings per square meter.
Customers often ask how to grow bluebeard in a pot. The container should have a volume of at least 10 liters, and permeable drainage of expanded clay or gravel must be prepared in its bottom part. Both in the flowerbed and in the container, bluebeard requires rather dry conditions. Water a young seedling more significantly only after planting until it fully takes root. Later, the plant easily handles summer droughts without problems. As for fertilizers, the rule of less is more applies, because excessive fertilizing conversely reduces flower setting. You will surely also be pleased by the fact that this is a plant completely free of diseases and pests.
During year-round maintenance, do not forget about frost resistance and proper pruning. The plant can handle temperature drops down to -23 °C. Over the winter, however, light winter protection is still recommended, preferably a layer of dry leaves or evergreen boughs, which will be especially appreciated by plants from autumn planting. To maintain vitality, follow this procedure:
Do not shorten the twigs before winter; they have a beautiful winter effect even under the snow.
Spring pruning will encourage the sprouting of new shoots, on which the shrub subsequently blooms abundantly.
Cut deeply, even down to 15 centimeters above the ground.
The cut twigs with late-summer flowers are excellent for cutting into vases as well as for drying into long-lasting arrangements.

Bluebeard Dark Knight brings a deep blue color to the garden just as most summer perennials are slowly finishing their bloom. This deciduous subshrub, created by crossing species native to East Asia, loves full sun and well-draining, even sandy soil. It tolerates drought and scorching heat excellently, so it is suitable for gravel beds or sunny slopes. The entire plant is strongly aromatic and when the leaves are rubbed, it releases a spicy scent reminiscent of resin and lavender.

Bluebeard Hint of Gold
Bluebeard Hint of Gold will brighten up the garden at a time when most perennials are already finishing their bloom. This deciduous subshrub is valued primarily for the unconventional coloring of its leaves, which sprout in bright yellow tones and gradually transition into a soft yellow-green. This creates a perfect and fresh contrast to the deep blue-purple flowers that appear on the plant from August to October. The whole plant is strongly aromatic and upon touch releases a pleasant spicy scent that reminds one of a mix of herbs, conifer needles, and resin. Thanks to its compact growth around 60 to 90 centimeters, it perfectly fits into lower shrub groups or as a specimen plant in perennial beds, where it is guaranteed to draw attention to itself.
The original species of bluebeard come from the dry and sunny steppe regions of East Asia, which predestines their requirements in our gardens as well. They require full sun and very well-draining, even stony or sandy soil, as they do not tolerate waterlogging, especially in the winter months. Hint of Gold is frost-resistant, yet it is advisable to cover its roots slightly with conifer branches for the winter. In the spring, a deeper cutback is needed, which will promote the bush's density and an abundant set of flowers on new shoots. The flowers are literally a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators, representing a valuable source of nectar in late summer. The twigs can also be used for cutting into a vase, where they will spice up any autumn bouquet with their scent and the unconventional color combination of leaf and flower.

Alchemilla mollis
Lady's mantle Irish Silk
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
Sea holly is an indispensable perennial for all lovers of naturally styled gardens.
