Hollyhocks are a must-have for every lover of a rustic atmosphere.

And the hollyhock's desire to travel has remained. It often self-seeds, and you will find it in a place where you definitely didn't plant it. Naturally, it is a biennial or short-lived perennial. However, its impermanence is balanced by beautiful double flowers and a striking silhouette and height. It is suitable for cutting and was also used for dyeing and as a medicinal plant. The Chater's series includes proven varieties with pompon-like double flowers.

African Blue basil is an interesting and perennial herb that will reliably surprise you with its properties. Unlike common annual species, it grows as a sturdy shrub with a woody stem. Its origin dates back to warmer regions, so it loves full sun and well-drained soil. In our conditions, we grow it as a container plant because it cannot handle winter frosts. You will receive a beautifully grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant into the garden or a larger container. When planting, keep a spacing of about fifty centimeters. The plant does not suffer from pests or diseases, so care is suitable even for complete beginners. From June to September, it is covered in purple flowers, which are a huge attraction for bees and bumblebees. A great advantage is its unmistakable aroma and purple-burgundy leaves. Compared to classic basils, it has a slightly spicier, camphor-like touch and is fully edible. The great news is that it doesn't lose its fragrance even after drying for floristic purposes. It will decorate summer bouquets in a vase, adding an interesting structure to them.

Wild strawberry brings the magic of forest glades and sunny clearings to the garden, where it naturally occurs across all of Europe and northern Asia. This tiny but perennial herb is prized primarily for its incredibly aromatic fruits, which may not compete with cultivated garden strawberries in size, but easily surpass them in their intense flavor and aroma. The plant forms low cushions of deep green trifoliate leaves, and from April to June, it is decorated with tiny, pure white flowers that are an irresistible attraction for bees and other pollinators. Thanks to its undemanding nature and frost resistance down to -35 °C, it is an ideal choice even for beginner growers. In the garden, wild strawberry serves perfectly as a groundcover perennial that spreads quickly via long runners and can effectively suppress weeds. It thrives best in sun or partial shade, where it has access to humus-rich and slightly moist soil, exactly what it would find in the undergrowth of light deciduous forests. It is suitable for natural corners of the garden, under shrubs, or as edging for flowerbeds, where you can pick a sweet reward at any time. Although you won't use it much for cutting into a vase or for drying, its value lies in its living beauty and edible fruits, which ripen gradually and offer the purest taste of nature right in your home.
