Persicaria affinis
Persicaria Superba
Other Latin namesBistorta affinis, Polygonum affine
Persicaria 'Superba' is a tirelessly blooming perennial that will reliably liven up the damper corners of your garden. In the wild, this species most often grows in damp meadows and along the banks of watercourses, where it seeks out nitrogen-rich soils. It will appreciate similar conditions at your place, whether you have loamy, humous, or heavier clay soil. It revels in both sun and partial shade and easily survives even the severest frosts dropping to minus thirty-four degrees. You will receive a well-rooted potted seedling from us, which just needs to be transplanted to your chosen spot. It will quickly form a low and dense stand twenty to thirty centimeters tall, with the dark green leaves gradually taking on an interesting bronze tinge. From summer to autumn, upright unbranched stems topped with tiny light pink flowers tower above them. These act as a perfect magnet for bees and bumblebees. Persicaria is excellently suited for natural gardens, pond edges, or as an undergrowth in places that naturally hold moisture. It is a completely low-maintenance plant, suffering from no diseases or pests, so even a complete beginner can playfully manage growing it. If you like to decorate your home, you can use the flowers for cutting into summer bouquets, though they are not suitable for dried arrangements.

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.

Agastache hybrida
Agastache Danish Delight
Agastache Danish Delight will bring lightness and a wonderful fragrance to your summer garden. It loves full sun and very well-draining, even drier sandy or loamy soil. Once it gets used to your flowerbed, it does not require any complex care and effortlessly handles even harsher winter frosts dropping down to minus twenty-three degrees. Although it is classified as a short-lived perennial, its exceptionally abundant and persistent blooming will completely make up for it during the season.
From July to September, it forms dense spikes of tiny pink and purple flowers, which are complemented by green, highly aromatic leaves. The whole plant gives a very elegant impression and grows to a height of around sixty to eighty centimeters. In the flowerbed, it looks great in larger groups, planted about half a meter apart, and gets along excellently with ornamental grasses or other drought-tolerant species. Moreover, it blooms continuously throughout the summer and acts as a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with a generous pasture. A healthy clump will quickly grow from the supplied grown seedling in a pot. Fortunately, the plant does not suffer from pests or diseases at all, so even complete beginners can manage growing it.
Not only will this agastache brighten up the garden, but it is also perfectly suited for cutting for home crafting. Its sturdy stems full of flowers look fantastic in summer bouquets, adding an interesting height to them, and stay fresh in a vase without problems for a little over a week. It can also be used for drying in winter arrangements, because it holds its color very well. A great bonus is that both the fragrant leaves and the flowers themselves are fully edible. You can use them to decorate summer desserts, salads, or refreshing drinks and pleasantly surprise your guests.

Eupatorium maculatum
Joe Pye Weed Atropurpureum
Eupatorium 'Atropurpureum' is a stout and long-lived perennial that will bring a bold vertical element and plenty of life to your garden. In its native range on the damp meadows of North America, it forms dense stands, which is why even in the garden it will appreciate a sunny to semi-shady spot with nutritious, humous, and sufficiently moist soil, whether it is loamy or clayey. You will receive a beautifully grown potted seedling from us, which you just need to transplant to your chosen spot. Here, it will quickly form a massive clump of sturdy, dark red-purple stems that grow up to two meters tall and do not need support. During the summer, from July to September, huge flat inflorescences up to twenty-five centimeters in diameter open at their tops. These light purple to pink flowers emit a pleasant fragrance and act as a literal magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It is a completely undemanding plant avoided by pests and diseases, and it easily survives even very severe frosts well below minus thirty degrees. Eupatorium works excellently as a striking solitary plant in the back of a flowerbed or near water features. If you like to decorate your home, you can also use its sturdy stems for cutting into summer bouquets. In the autumn, it pays off not to remove the faded inflorescences, because when covered with frost in the winter months, they create a magnificent spectacle in the flowerbed.

Phlomis russeliana
Phlomis Russeliana
Phlomis, sometimes nicknamed Jerusalem sage, is a valuable perennial bringing a Mediterranean atmosphere to the garden. Originally from the Greek islands and Turkey, this plant is accustomed to harsher conditions, thanks to which it perfectly handles our hot summers and poorer, well-drained soils. Its gray-green, felt-like leaves form a dense cover that works as a reliable barrier against weeds, and it surprisingly tolerates shade under tree canopies well, provided it is not too moist there. In summer, it will thrill you with pastel yellow flowers arranged in regular whorls above each other, which look very exotic and attract plenty of bees and bumblebees.
For florists, phlomis is a literal treasure. The fresh flowers look very elegant in a vase, but dried stems with mature seed pods will put on an even greater show. These hold their shape for a long time and are one of the best materials for dried arrangements. Moreover, you can leave them standing in the flowerbed until spring, because their striking silhouette looks breathtaking when covered in frost. It is a rewarding and long-lived plant that even a complete beginner can easily handle.

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. They are colored in inconspicuous green and brown tones. It is their constant movement and rustling at the slightest breeze that gives the flower beds extraordinary dynamics and lightness. 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. The 'Limouzi' cultivar is characterized by its abundant flower set and slightly more compact growth, which maintains its shape even in more demanding conditions.

Knautia macedonica
Knautia Red Knight
Macedonian scabious is an abundantly and long-blooming, undemanding perennial that will bring the untamed charm of summer meadows to the garden. Its wild form originates from the sun-drenched Balkans, where it naturally grows on sunny hillsides and in warm thickets. You will receive from us a mature seedling in a pot, which just needs to be transplanted into well-drained loamy or sandy soil in the sun or partial shade. Here it will quickly take root and form a vigorous clump. The Red Knight cultivar enchants with slender stems up to ninety centimeters tall, which all summer from June to September carry a flood of dark burgundy to deep wine-red flowers. These edible flowers act as a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and other insects. The plant is an ideal choice for beginners because it reliably resists frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees and does not suffer from any pests or diseases. Although it belongs to short-lived perennials, in a suitable place it gladly self-seeds. It will fit perfectly into naturalistically designed plantings with ornamental grasses and is popularly used in sweeping meadow bouquets.

Aquilegia vulgaris
Columbine Kristall
The common columbine is a versatile perennial that will reliably inhabit both rural and modern flowerbeds. In the wild, it grows on the edges of forests and in light groves across all of Europe, which is why it thrives best in the garden in full sun to partial shade and ordinary loamy soil rich in humus. Its main charm lies in its unusually shaped flowers, but it is also valuable for its very early sprouting green leaves, which awaken the garden after winter. You will receive a beautifully grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant to your chosen spot. Although the plant is poisonous, it represents a huge asset for gardeners. Even complete beginners can manage growing it, pests avoid it, and it easily survives severe frosts dropping to minus thirty-four degrees.
During May and June, delicate flowers bloom on sturdy, sixty to eighty-centimeter-tall stems, bringing typical airiness and lightness to the planting. The 'Kristall' cultivar is a large-flowered variety that stands out with pure white flowers and prominent spurs. These act as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and other beneficial pollinators. Keep in mind that in a favorable location, columbine very willingly self-seeds, taking care of natural-looking wild stands. It works well in perennial beds and as an undergrowth beneath taller shrubs.
If you like bringing a piece of the garden home, columbine certainly won't disappoint you. It is perfectly suited for cutting and will bring a novel structure to spring bouquets. Fresh flowers will bring you joy in a vase for about seven days. If you leave some of the flowers to finish blooming on the flowerbed, they will form interesting seed pods, which are highly popular among florists for creating various natural decorations and can also be dried well. Just watch out for the occasional occurrence of powdery mildew during the drier months, but otherwise, the plant needs almost no care.

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.

Cultivation
This long-lived perennial loves moisture, so choose a place in the sun or partial shade where water naturally holds. It will be thrilled to be near a garden pond or on the moister edges of flowerbeds. The soil should ideally be loamy, humus-rich, or heavier clay with a higher nitrogen content. Because the plant forms a dense, twenty to thirty-centimeter-high carpet, plant individual plants at a distance of 30 to 40 centimeters from each other. Thus, you will use 7 to 9 seedlings per square meter, which will soon continuously cover the area.
Watering is absolutely crucial for this plant. It requires a moist to boggy place with nutrient-rich soil. If you have drier conditions in your garden, you will have to water regularly and heavily, especially during the hot summer months. In short, the soil should never completely dry out. You can help yourself with a thicker layer of mulch, which will retain moisture at the roots for a longer time. As for fertilization, the bistort will appreciate the addition of aged compost or a common perennial fertilizer in the spring, which will support the formation of dark green leaves and subsequently abundant flowering.
Care during the season is undemanding, so even a complete beginner can handle it without worries. A huge advantage is that the bistort does not suffer from pests or common fungal diseases at all, so you will avoid any chemical sprays. Light pink flowers decorate the plant from July to October. After the first blooming, it is recommended to perform a so-called cutting back, i.e., trimming the faded stems. With this step, you will revive the plant and encourage a second wave of flowering at the beginning of autumn, when the leaves also begin to turn into attractive bronze shades. You can also cut the flowers and use them in fresh summer bouquets, but they are not suitable for drying. In the spring, you just need to remove the old and dead leaves to make room for new shoots and ensure good aeration.
You don't even have to worry about the winter months. Persicaria 'Superba' is an extremely frost-hardy perennial that will easily tolerate even very strong frosts dropping to an incredible -34 °C. It requires absolutely no winter protection in the flowerbed. Customers also often ask us about growing in containers. You can successfully grow bistort in a spacious window box or pot on a semi-shady terrace. However, the key to success is a constantly moist substrate. Therefore, we recommend choosing self-watering containers or placing a deep saucer with water under the pot. Use a nutritious, humus-rich soil in the container and don't forget to regularly fertilize the plant during the summer.
The information given is based on our experience, please use it as a guide only. Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse. We always recommend testing how the plant performs in your conditions. Please do not take this as a guarantee.

Persicaria amplexicaulis
Persicaria Lisan
Persicaria 'Lisan' is an indispensable perennial for anyone who wants to have a blooming garden even in the second half of summer and in autumn. This type of persicaria has its origins in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, where it naturally inhabits moister meadows and forest edges. As a result, the plant is very hardy and vigorous even in the garden, loves nutritious, humous soils that retain moisture, and thrives in both sun and partial shade. In plantings, it is valued for its ability to quickly close the canopy and suppress weeds, while not suffering from diseases or pests. Its dense clumps of fresh green leaves form a perfect undergrowth under taller shrubs or trees and bring dynamics to the beds even when other summer perennials are already fading. The 'Lisan' cultivar stands out for its striking, crimson-red inflorescences in the shape of narrow spikes, which tower above the leaves from July until the first frosts in October. Compared to some other persicarias, it grows to a more compact height of between 50 and 75 centimeters and does not require support, as its stems are firm and upright. These candle-like flowers look very impressive in perennial plantings and are literally a magnet for bees and other pollinators. Persicaria 'Lisan' is also excellent for cutting into a vase, where its rich color and interesting structure will last for several days and perfectly complement autumn arrangements.

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.

Sea Holly
Sea holly is an indispensable perennial for all lovers of naturally styled gardens.
