The Cornflower packet contains a larger amount of seeds because we recommend direct sowing straight into the bed. This often entails worse conditions, which leads to a significantly lower number of resulting plants. That is why the packet is so big :)

Helianthus annuus
Sunflower ProCut White Lite
Sunflower comes from the sunny plains of North America and is an inseparable part of our gardens as a symbol of summer. The 'ProCut White Lite' variety brings a pleasant refreshment to the yellow assortment in the form of creamy light yellow flowers with an attractive greenish-yellow center. This is a reliable single-stem annual from a professional series bred specifically for floral purposes. It does not produce pollen, so you can use it in interior decorations without worrying about allergies. In the garden, it grows to a height of eighty to one hundred and twenty centimeters. The path to your own flowers begins with seeds, which are easy to work with and provide quick results. Ideally, start the sunflower seeds by pre-growing them in the warmth for one to two weeks. Covered seeds will germinate in five to ten days. Then, transplant them into sun or partial shade. You can repeat sowings from April to August, which will cause them to bloom gradually from July to autumn. Do not pinch the plants, but provide support for straight stems. Fresh flowers last a long time in a vase and will delight lovers of clean bouquets.

Saponaria vaccaria
Vaccaria Pink Beauty
Saponaria vaccaria, or cow soapwort 'Pink Beauty', is a reliable annual that brings a romantic and airy element to summer flower beds. It easily makes up for its unconventional name with a rich profusion of tiny, pastel-pink flowers that bring a sense of lightness to the garden. These appear on sturdy stems sixty to ninety centimeters tall during the summer months, from June to September. The delicate flowers not only look beautiful and soften the surrounding plantings, but they also act as a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, which will naturally enliven your garden. For healthy growth, cow soapwort appreciates a bright location, but it can grow in light shade without any problems.
It looks very elegant in the garden, and thanks to its structure—reminiscent of baby's breath—it combines perfectly with more robust types of flowers, for which it makes a delicate background. You can confidently cut three to four richly branched stems from each plant. They will bring great joy even if you simply place them in small vases in your living room. Cow soapwort grows and blooms very quickly from seeds, which in practice means that it also fades a bit faster. If you want to enjoy its delicate pink flowers in the bed and in the vase for as long as possible, it is worth sowing the seeds in stages. You can perform direct sowing from February to May in several consecutive phases. Even complete beginners can thus have fresh cut flowers available throughout the season.

Agrostemma githago
Corn cockle Light Rose
The common corncockle used to be a regular feature of our fields, from which it has disappeared, but today it is returning to ornamental gardens. The 'Light Rose' variety stands out for its delicate pastel pink flowers, which open gradually from May until the end of August. This annual reaches a height of sixty to one hundred and twenty centimeters, so provide it with suitable support in the garden bed to prevent its thin stems from breaking in the wind. The delicate appearance of the corncockle pairs perfectly with other wildflowers and gives plantings a natural, relaxed look. It thrives best in full sun or light shade, where its flowers act as an attractant for small pollinators. Direct sowing into the soil is carried out from March to May, and if you want to speed up flowering for the following year, you can also sow in late summer, in August and September. The seeds need darkness to germinate, so they must be gently covered with soil. At a temperature of around sixteen to eighteen degrees, they will germinate within one to two weeks. You will quickly grow to love the corncockle as an excellent cut flower, as it looks very light in a vase and adds airiness to any arrangement.

Cultivation
Growing Ageratum 'Frosted Mix' is a joy even for beginners, but it requires a bit of patience and warmth. Since the plant cannot tolerate frost at all, we do not recommend direct sowing into the garden bed. Ideally, it should be started in a seed tray, which you can begin from March to June. The starting time takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks. NOTICE: For an even representation of all colors in the mix, we always recommend sowing the entire packet of seeds! Only then will you get that wonderfully soft combination of pure white and lavender flowers, which will perfectly complement your garden beds.
When sowing, choose a seed tray with smaller cells and place 1 to 3 seeds into each of them. It is absolutely crucial not to cover the seeds with substrate, as they need light to germinate. Simply press them gently onto the surface of the moist soil. For successful germination, ensure a temperature between 22 and 26 °C. If you follow these conditions, the first tiny plants will appear in just 6 to 12 days. At this stage, the seedlings do not need any pinching; the plant will naturally and beautifully branch out on its own.
Transplant the seedlings to their outdoor location only once all spring frosts have surely passed. Choose a place for them in the sun or partial shade with humus-rich and well-drained soil. The ideal planting spacing is 10 to 20 cm apart. Ageratum grows to a respectable height of 50 to 100 cm, yet it does not require any support. Maintain moderate watering and be careful of waterlogging, which could lead to fungal diseases such as gray mold or powdery mildew. While the plant is poisonous, so be careful with pets, it will reliably attract a lot of pollinators 🐝 to your garden and is absolutely fantastic for cutting.
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.

Instructions inside the seed packet
You can find full instructions inside each seed packet, covering everything from sowing to harvesting.
Seeds arrive in a handy box
You can use the box to store seeds, so when it's time to sow, you have everything ready.
Seed packets can be easily organized

Pelleted seeds can be found in ampoules
The smallest seeds are pelleted to make them easier to work with. The pelleted seeds can be found in a plastic ampoule inside the package.
Sow the entire packet of seeds
Number of seeds ≠ number of plants. It is necessary to take into account that not every seed will germinate. You may lose some seedlings during cultivation. We recommend buying and sowing more seeds than you need seedlings.
Find the current germination rate on the website
We test seed germination every 6 months. You can always find the current germination rate on our website.

The seeds are sown directly into the flower bed during May and June, as soon as the danger of frost has passed. The 'Cresto' series is characterized by fully double, scabiosa-flowered types that catch the eye with their unconventional shape and fluffy centers. Compared to the 'Peaches & Cream' variety, this variant offers cooler shades of pink, from pastel to deep bubblegum, with delicate touches of tangerine and apricot. The plants grow to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, and occasional pinching will benefit them with richer branching. In the garden, they form beautiful combinations with delicate ornamental grasses or other annuals in similar tones. Zinnia also acts as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Long, sturdy stems, which sometimes benefit from light support, make this flower the perfect material for cutting. The colorful flowers last for many days in a vase and will enliven any summer interior.

Helianthus annuus
Sunflower ProCut White Lite
Sunflower comes from the sunny plains of North America and is an inseparable part of our gardens as a symbol of summer. The 'ProCut White Lite' variety brings a pleasant refreshment to the yellow assortment in the form of creamy light yellow flowers with an attractive greenish-yellow center. This is a reliable single-stem annual from a professional series bred specifically for floral purposes. It does not produce pollen, so you can use it in interior decorations without worrying about allergies. In the garden, it grows to a height of eighty to one hundred and twenty centimeters. The path to your own flowers begins with seeds, which are easy to work with and provide quick results. Ideally, start the sunflower seeds by pre-growing them in the warmth for one to two weeks. Covered seeds will germinate in five to ten days. Then, transplant them into sun or partial shade. You can repeat sowings from April to August, which will cause them to bloom gradually from July to autumn. Do not pinch the plants, but provide support for straight stems. Fresh flowers last a long time in a vase and will delight lovers of clean bouquets.

Larkspur QIS White
Delphinium consolida, known better as Larkspur, is a typical annual for both country and modern gardens. The 'QIS White' cultivar stands out with pure white flowers that densely cover long, straight stems.

In floristry, they are suitable for wedding bouquets and for drying. For a perfect cut, you must be quick and harvest the stems before all the buds have fully opened.

Centaurea cyanus
Cornflower Tall Double Black Boy
It is hard to imagine anything more rustic. The 'Tall Double Black Boy' variety is a much fuller-flowered Cornflower than the one we commonly see along roadsides and hedgerows. It is a truly extraordinary piece, with a color that transitions from dark burgundy and plum to almost black. It grows to a height of sixty to eighty centimeters, so it appreciates support in the flower bed to prevent its thin stems from breaking. Seeds from spring or autumn sowings germinate very readily within five to ten days. It is best to sow them directly in a sunny or semi-shaded location. The flowers appear in the summer months from June to August and become a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. You will appreciate the Cornflower in naturalistic gardens alongside other annuals. It is absolutely great for cutting into vases, and its flowers also retain their shape and color when dried. If you like trying new things in the kitchen, you will be pleased to know that these dark flowers are edible and will beautifully brighten up summer salads or desserts.
