Quaking grass Zitterzebra

An undemanding and charming native grass that will bring unusual delicacy and playfulness to any flower bed. Quaking grass is a native species that can be found in the wild in sunny meadows and drier pastures. In the garden, it is content with poorer and well-drained soil in the sun or partial shade. It forms dense clumps from which thin, flexible stalks with brown inflorescences sprout as early as May. The tiny spikelets in the shape of small hearts dance at the slightest breeze and add dynamics to the space. It belongs to the short-lived perennials, yet in a suitable location, it becomes a reliable part of the planting. In flower beds, it excellently complements prominently flowering species and softens the overall composition. It also has a firm place in floristry. It is suitable for cutting into summer bouquets, lending them lightness and airiness. It is also perfectly usable for drying into dry arrangements, where it maintains its shape long-term. It remains beautiful until late summer, after which it is good to trim the faded stalks. The 'Zitterzebra' cultivar is additionally exceptional for its coloration; its leaves are decorated with longitudinal green-and-white stripes that give it a fresh and modern look. Show full description

Quaking grass Limouzi, Loukykvět

Briza media

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.

Catmint Walker’s Low, Loukykvět

Nepeta racemosa

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.

Lady's mantle Irish Silk, Loukykvět

Alchemilla mollis

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.

Dropseed, Loukykvět

Sporobolus heterolepis

Prairie dropseed originates from the vast North American prairies, where it forms a natural part of the wild and unbridled landscape.

Sedum Matrona, Loukykvět

Sedum spectabile

Showy stonecrop is one of the longest-living and hardiest perennials you can treat your garden to. It originally comes from the Far East, where it colonizes sunny and dry slopes. For successful cultivation, you simply need to find it a spot in direct sun with well-drained sandy soil. The 'Matrona' cultivar catches the eye at first glance with its fleshy, grayish-green leaves with a burgundy tinge and sturdy stems that do not break and need no support. We will deliver a mature potted seedling that you can easily transplant straight into the flowerbed after unpacking. We recommend planting five to seven plants per square meter; they will soon join into a solid stand around seventy centimeters tall. From August to October, it will then delight you with rich, flat inflorescences in an old rose color. It is an ideal choice for those looking for beauty without unnecessary effort. This stonecrop easily survives harsh winters with frosts dropping to minus twenty-eight degrees, and pests and diseases avoid it. The 'Matrona' variety differs from others in that it will reliably grow even in more nutritious soil, provided it is not waterlogged. In perennial compositions, it creates a beautiful contrast next to delicate ornamental grasses and other autumn flowers. During sunny days, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators constantly take turns over its flowers. You can boldly use the sturdy stems with pink umbels for cutting. They stay fresh in a vase for quite a long time and will bring a touch of the slowly ending summer into your home. It might surprise you that the leaves of this stonecrop are edible and can be used to garnish dishes. If you decide not to cut the plant back in the autumn, you will get a perfect structure in the flowerbed that will last all winter. Especially when the old flowers are covered in frost, they provide a breathtaking spectacle right until the spring months.

Sea Holly, Loukykvět
For drying

Eryngium planum

Sea holly is an indispensable perennial for all lovers of naturally styled gardens. It earned its folk name - male fidelity - in times when it was used in herbal medicine as an aphrodisiac, and its roots were even candied as sweets in France and England. Today, however, you will appreciate it mainly for its low maintenance and unique appearance. Its home is on sunny hillsides and dry meadows, so even in our gardens, it will welcome well-drained, even poorer sandy soil and full sun. It produces upright, sturdy stems topped with blue-purple flowers with prickly bracts, which bring interesting structure and a silvery touch to the flowerbeds. It is literally a magnetic plant for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, who find a rich food source on it. Floristically, it is extremely valuable, because its flowers are perfectly suited for cutting as well as drying for winter decorations. If you decide not to harvest it, feel free to leave it in the flowerbed all winter. Its silhouette covered in hoarfrost creates a wonderful winter effect. Although it is a short-lived perennial, in a suitable location it reliably self-seeds, so you will enjoy its beauty for many years.

Cultivation

Pěstování kultivaru Zitterzebra je i pro úplné začátečníky, protože tato tráva nevyžaduje žádné složité pěstitelské zásahy. Pro úspěšný růst vyberte stanoviště na slunci nebo v polostínu. Klíčová je kvalita půdy – třeslice preferuje chudší a dobře propustnou zeminu. V příliš výživných a humózních půdách sice poroste, ale může ztrácet svůj kompaktní tvar, vytahovat se a poléhat, čímž by zanikl efekt jejích krásných panašovaných listů.
Sazenice vysazujeme do sponu přibližně 35 cm (asi 7 až 9 rostlin na metr čtvereční), aby měly jednotlivé trsy dostatek prostoru pro cirkulaci vzduchu. Jelikož se jedná o méně konkurenceschopný druh, nedoporučujeme ji sázet do těsné blízkosti velmi bujně rostoucích trvalek, které by ji mohly časem vytlačit. Po výsadbě rostlinu zalijte, ale následně to se zálivkou nepřehánějte. Třeslice snese i mírné sucho a vláhu vyžaduje spíše střídmou. Hnojení není nutné, naopak by mohlo být na škodu, protože podporuje nadměrný růst listů na úkor pevnosti stébel a kvetení.
Tato tráva je sice krátkověká trvalka, ale na stanovišti se spolehlivě udržuje díky schopnosti se přesévat. Aby se v záhonu udržela dlouhodobě, je dobré nechat část květenství dozrát a vysemenit. Pokud však chcete rostlinu využít k dekoraci, stříhejte stébla s klásky ve tvaru srdíček do letních kytic nebo je sušte do zimních vazeb – tvar si drží perfektně. Odkvetlá stébla, která na rostlině ponecháte, je vhodné zastřihnout v pozdním létě, aby trs vypadal úhledně. Zaschlé listy pak odstraňte až brzy na jaře, aby přes zimu chránily kořeny, ačkoliv je rostlina plně mrazuvzdorná až do -28 °C a českou zimu zvládá bez problémů.
Třeslici 'Zitterzebra' můžete bez obav pěstovat i v nádobách a truhlících. Díky své výšce 25–50 cm a absenci hlubokého kořenového systému se jí v květináčích daří výborně. Dbejte však na to, aby nádoba měla odtokové otvory a na dně vrstvu drenáže (keramzit nebo kamínky). Substrát pro nádoby smíchejte s pískem v poměru 2:1, aby byl dostatečně vzdušný. V nádobách je potřeba hlídat zálivku o něco pečlivěji než ve volné půdě, substrát by neměl zcela vyschnout na troud, ale rozhodně nesmí být trvale rozbahněný.

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.

Quaking grass Limouzi, Loukykvět

Briza media

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.
