Purple Moor Grass Heidezwerg
Heidezwerg purple moor grass is a highly adaptable grass that naturally grows in wet pastures, fens, and moorlands. Thanks to its origins, it loves slightly acidic and moister soils, but it can also handle a sunny spot provided it has enough moisture. It is planted in gardens primarily for its exceptional autumn display, when the clumps of leaves turn into vibrant golden to orange tones that literally shine on dull days. The Heidezwerg cultivar grows to a compact height and is cultivated for its dark purple to purplish inflorescences on upright stalks. These appear from August to October, bringing an interesting vertical structure to the flower beds. The plant looks beautiful in winter too, when adorned with frost, which is why it should not be cut back until spring. The inflorescences are excellent for cutting for a vase or drying for arrangements, where they last a very long time.

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.

Tall Moor Grass Karl Foerster
Karl Foerster tall moor grass is an architectural gem among ornamental grasses, which has gained popularity due to its elegant and airy growth. The original species naturally occurs in wet meadows and light forests across Europe, so in the garden, it prefers moister, humus-rich soils in full sun or partial shade.

During autumn, the entire plant turns into beautiful golden-yellow shades that literally glow on gloomy days. Thanks to its height and transparency, it makes a perfect specimen plant or a great addition to the back of perennial borders, adding dynamic movement without shading other plants. The sturdy stalks are also excellent material for florists, whether for fresh bouquets or dried arrangements, and if left in the border over winter, they provide a beautiful winter silhouette, especially when frosted.

Purple Moor Grass Heidebraut
Purple moor grass 'Heidebraut' is a highly adaptable grass that in nature grows in wet pastures, fen meadows, and heathlands. Thanks to its origin, it is an undemanding and hardy plant that can handle various types of soils, provided they are sufficiently well-drained and loamy. In the garden, it functions as a great architectural element, because it does not form runners but remains in compact clumps. It finds its use in perennial beds, where it adds lightness and movement to the composition, but it also looks great in larger groups in natural-style plantings.
The 'Heidebraut' cultivar is prized primarily for its exceptional autumn effect. It blooms from August to October with brownish-purple inflorescences on upright stems. With the arrival of cooler days, the entire plant changes color to beautiful golden and orange tones, and the stems arch outwards into airy fans. These strong stems are excellent for cutting for autumn bouquets and dry very well, so they can bring you joy in dried arrangements all winter long. Moreover, it is good to leave the clumps uncut in the flower bed over winter, because when covered in hoarfrost, they look magical and this protects the plant from frost.

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.

Aquilegia vulgaris
Columbine White Barlow
The common columbine is a popular and versatile perennial that inherently belongs in both rustic and modern gardens. In the wild, it grows on forest edges and clearings throughout Europe, so a sunny or partially shaded spot with slightly moist, loamy, and humus-rich soil will suit it best in your garden. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply need to transplant into a flowerbed. There, it will become a valuable element early in the spring thanks to its early sprouting green leaves. The flowers themselves then enter the scene in May and June.
Although it is a short-lived perennial, it reliably self-seeds in a suitable location, so you definitely won't lose it in your garden. Columbine flowers act as a great attraction for bees and bumblebees, and the entire plant is absolutely low-maintenance, making it easy to grow even for beginners. It does not require support and can withstand very severe frosts dropping below thirty degrees. The 'White Barlow' cultivar stands out with an unmistakable appearance; its pure white, double flowers bring airiness and lightness to any planting. It grows to a height of about sixty to eighty centimeters and grows nicely in clumps.
Columbines are excellently applied in wild natural plantings as well as thoughtfully planned perennial compositions. The double flowers of the 'White Barlow' variety look magnificent not only in the flowerbed but also in fresh bouquets, to which they add a tender and romantic element. For cutting, it is best to choose freshly opened blooms, and they will last about seven days in a vase. Since the plant is not suitable for drying and all its parts are poisonous, it will bring you joy primarily outdoors in the garden or in the aforementioned spring vases. During the season, just occasionally check if it is bothered by aphids or powdery mildew; otherwise, it needs no special attention.

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.

Cultivation
Selecting the right location, which should imitate its natural habitat of damp fens and moors, is crucial for successfully growing purple moor grass 'Heidezwerg'. This ornamental grass thrives best in a sunny to partially shaded location, with a simple rule: the more sun you give the plant, the more moisture it will need. The soil should ideally be loamy, permeable, but able to retain water, and with a higher proportion of humus. Moor grass loves an acidic soil reaction, so it will thrive excellently in the company of heathers, azaleas, or rhododendrons. When planting, observe the recommended spacing of about 50 cm (5 to 7 plants per m²) so that the individual tufts have enough space for air circulation and at the same time eventually create a continuous stand.
Caring for this long-lived perennial grass is very easy and is suitable even for absolute beginners. The most important point of maintenance is watering, which you should not forget, especially in the hot summer months – the soil should never dry out completely. On the other hand, the plant must not stand in water for a long time to prevent root rot. As for fertilization, moor grass is modest; the natural humus in the soil or light fertilization with compost in the spring will suffice. A great benefit of the 'Heidezwerg' cultivar is its excellent health; it does not suffer from any specific diseases or pests, so chemical protection is not necessary. The plant is fully frost-hardy down to -34 °C, so it does not require any complex winter covering.
The plant requires specific care in autumn and winter. Although the leaves color beautifully into golden and orange tones in the autumn and later dry out, never cut them before winter. The dry mass of leaves and stems serves as natural protection for the center of the tuft (the heart) against frost and excessive moisture. Moreover, frosted stems look very decorative in the winter garden. We prune only in early spring, ideally in March or early April, when we cut the entire tuft low above the ground (approx. 5–10 cm). This will encourage the formation of new, healthy leaves and dense growth. If you would like to grow this compact grass in a container, it is possible, but make sure the pot has drainage holes and a drainage layer. The substrate in containers dries out much faster, so more frequent and regular watering will be necessary.
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.

Thanks to its origin, it is an undemanding and hardy plant that can handle various types of soils, provided they are sufficiently well-drained and loamy. In the garden, it functions as a great architectural element, because it does not form runners but remains in compact clumps. It finds its use in perennial beds, where it adds lightness and movement to the composition, but it also looks great in larger groups in natural-style plantings.
The 'Heidebraut' cultivar is prized primarily for its exceptional autumn effect. It blooms from August to October with brownish-purple inflorescences on upright stems. With the arrival of cooler days, the entire plant changes color to beautiful golden and orange tones, and the stems arch outwards into airy fans. These strong stems are excellent for cutting for autumn bouquets and dry very well, so they can bring you joy in dried arrangements all winter long. Moreover, it is good to leave the clumps uncut in the flower bed over winter, because when covered in hoarfrost, they look magical and this protects the plant from frost.

Sesleria autumnalis
Autumn Moor Grass
Autumn moor grass is an exceptionally hardy ornamental grass that introduces fresh greenery to the garden right from early spring. Native to the rocky slopes of the Balkans, it is well-adapted to free-draining soils, making it an ideal choice for novice gardeners. It forms neat clumps growing thirty to fifty centimeters tall. Its greatest asset is its bright green foliage, which emerges early and remains in pristine condition in the borders well into winter. The plant is untouched by diseases or pests and handles severe frosts superbly. In August and September, delicate creamy-beige flowers appear above the foliage. These rather subtle spikelets give the plant an elegant, refined look. In the garden, it acts as a perfect filler perennial for sunny or partially shaded spots. It looks absolutely stunning paired with calamint, airy gaura, or flowering oregano. Its delicate flowers and leaves are easily used as foliage filler in fresh bouquets, or they can be dried for small-scale floristry projects.
