Flax setý Sky Blue

A classic among Nigellas, a rich sky-blue shade. Nigella is a spring beauty, but its fruits are also excellent for harvesting, so it will last in the flowerbed until summer.

A newcomer to the cornflower family. One of these plants accidentally bloomed in our blue cornflower bed last year, and we immediately started looking for it to cultivate. It's a very unusual shade of deep raspberry.

Statice is a classic from grandma's garden and an evergreen for dried flowers. We grow hundreds of statice! It's incredibly useful in bouquets as a filler material, and even undried, it lasts a long time in a vase. Once all the small flowers on the stem have bloomed, statice no longer wilts and is perfect for wreaths, corsages, and boutonnieres. For several years, we've been searching for a truly blue shade of statice, as most are always purplish, but QIS Pale Blue is the closest to blue of them all. One plant produces at least 15 stems. For drying, we harvest statice when the stem below the flower is firm and the entire inflorescence has bloomed. Simply hang them upside down in a dry, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight.

Cosmos are among the most used flowers on our farm. During the season, we cut hundreds of stems every day. For us, hats off, a super cut flower! Sensation Purity has a simple white flower, which always fits and also resembles daisies.

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 Cherry Blossom is a delicate shade of pink, in the colors of apple blossoms. 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.

Cosmos are one of the most beloved flowers on our farm. They resemble daisies, and customers adore them. And now, imagine such a hit in a fully double form! Double Click Rose Bonbon is a solid pink shade. One plant produces at least 12 stems.

Poppy with black centers, similar to anemones. In terms of color, it's a mix of marbled shades from white through red and pink to burgundy. We have been growing wild poppies since the first days of Loukykvět, and this year we are returning to them again. Wild poppies require more care as a cut flower and don't last as long in a vase. But! They are such a beauty that it's still worth it. Here's our guide for wild poppies. We harvest freshly burst buds. It's enough to see a crack on the bud and the color within. A wild poppy has only a few petals, so it takes a little while to open. We trim the ends fresh and blanch them in hot water (just boil the water and use it immediately), or char the ends with a flame. Heat helps the poppy open the pathways for water absorption and prevents wilting. In bouquets, we arrange freshly opened pieces or buds, with the understanding that the poppy will open during the day. If you plan to sow poppies just for pleasure in the flowerbed, none of this is necessary, of course :). For drying, we harvest mature poppy pods, roughly from mid-July. Simply hang them upside down in a dry, airy place, out of direct sunlight.
