The majestic larkspur Benary’s Pacific Black Knight will bring original beauty and a striking vertical structure to your garden. In the wild, the original species of larkspurs grow in lush meadows with nutritious soil. Therefore, in the garden, it will reliably appreciate full sun and sufficiently moist, humous loam. Although it is a perennial for somewhat more advanced growers, with the right approach, it will reward you richly and will survive even extreme winters with temperatures deep below the freezing point without worry. We will deliver a beautifully rooted seedling in a pot, ready for immediate planting in the flowerbed. Do not forget to give it enough space, ideally with spacings around sixty centimeters, and throughout the season, do not forget regular fertilizing. A more airy space will naturally protect the plant from powdery mildew. It works excellently in mixed borders with peonies and roses, providing them with a beautiful dark background. The Black Knight variety stands out with long stems growing up to one hundred and fifty centimeters, which are gradually adorned with deep dark purple flowers from June onwards. These literally attract bees from a wide surrounding area. When growing, keep in mind that it is poisonous and very tasty to slugs in early spring. The firm flower stalks are absolutely ideal for fresh bouquets, where they will stay fresh for about seven days. However, do not place the vase next to ripening fruit, to whose ethylene larkspur is sensitive and would wilt faster. If you want to preserve its beauty longer, try drying it. The dark flowers retain their pigment excellently and will enliven absolutely any dried arrangement.

The original home of bleeding hearts is Korea and China, where they grow in light deciduous forests. They are classic garden perennials. They will look perfect in nostalgically styled flower beds; the white variant fits well even into naturalistic woodland gardens. They are popular for their heart-shaped flowers hanging on horizontal or arching stems. These weaken and die back some time after flowering; all the plant's energy then concentrates in the roots, and at that moment, we can cut the above-ground part back completely. For the rest of the year, we won't even know the bleeding heart is in the garden. It will remind us of its charm again in the spring. Perfect vase life, at least 7 days. Harvest when the first 3–4 flowers open on the stem. Alba has beautiful pure white flowers; the shoots sprouting in spring are light lime green.

The bright yellow flowers of false lupine will reliably enliven any spring bed. In appearance, this decorative and hardy perennial strongly resembles the classic lupine, but it offers a much longer lifespan and absolute undemandingness. In nature, it grows on mountain slopes and open clearings of North America. Thus, it is naturally accustomed to full sun and partial shade and will surprise you with its extreme frost resistance; it will survive even the harshest winters deep below freezing without any problems. Ordinary loamy soil with moderate moisture is enough for it. From the delivered mature potted seedling, a strong clump of green leaves with a rich root system will quickly grow after transplanting. It is precisely because of its strong roots that false lupine is popularly planted for slope stabilization. It grows very healthily and does not suffer from pests or diseases, so even a complete beginner can handle caring for it. It reaches a height of up to one hundred and forty centimeters and acts as a great backdrop for shorter species in the flower bed. During May and June, the plant is literally covered in flowers, which are constantly worked on by bees and bumblebees. You can boldly cut the sturdy stems for a vase, where they will brighten the interior for many days. The whole plant serves florists equally well, as the attractive leaves and, later, the ripening seed pods offer perfect material for drying and creating dry natural arrangements.

Even after drying, they retain their rich color very well and perfectly liven up various long-lasting winter decorations and arrangements.
