It is perfectly suited for growing on sunny rockeries, in dry stone walls, or even in pots, where it forms richly blooming cushions. Although it is a short-lived plant, it often maintains itself by self-seeding in well-drained soil, so you will enjoy its beauty in the garden repeatedly. Moreover, the flowers tirelessly attract bees and other pollinators from the beginning of summer until the first frosts. You can also harvest them into small vases, where their tender little flowers will complement the atmosphere of your home.

Avens Mai Tai is a charming spring perennial that brings a romantic touch to the garden with its adorable cup-shaped flowers. The original species often grows near streams and in moister meadows, so it will easily settle in our gardens in sun or partial shade, where well-drained, loamy, and slightly humous soil will suit it best. You will receive a rooted seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant into the flowerbed. Avens forms nice basal clumps of green leaves, which over time function as an excellent ground cover. Its growth is reliable and its care is downright undemanding, because the plant is not bothered by pests or diseases and withstands frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. It stands out best when you plant it in smaller groups about thirty centimeters apart. From May to July, richly branched stems bearing semi-double flowers with gently ruffled petals appear above the foliage. The Mai Tai cultivar, which was bred in the USA in 2005, is characterized by its amazing color variability. It blooms in peach tones with a pink tint and gradually transitions into more muted pastel, salmon, and apricot shades. Blooming avens is a huge attraction for insects, especially for butterflies. We cut the stems for a vase when roughly a quarter to half of the flowers on the stem are open. They will stay beautiful in water for approximately seven days and add lightness and movement to an arrangement. However, its flowers are not suitable for drying.

It is a very undemanding plant avoided by pests and diseases, so even a beginner can easily manage growing it. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted into the flower bed. It can handle severe frosts and grows as a short-lived perennial or biennial.

In a suitable location, it reliably self-seeds, so you will not lose it. It is excellent for natural plantings, and its flowers are very popular for cutting into vases. They will stay fresh at home for six to eight days. Keep in mind, however, that all parts of the plant are poisonous.

Delicate decorative, long-lived shade-loving perennials with pinnate leaves and magnificent feathery inflorescences. They originate primarily from East Asia, but also from eastern North America. They look best in large-scale plantings. Due to relatively late sprouting, it is good to combine them with early-flowering bulbs. They last 4–10 days in a vase. We harvest as soon as half of the inflorescence is in bloom. They are very sensitive to ethylene released from ripening fruit. Europa blooms light pink.

Meadow rue will reliably bring extraordinary lightness and delicate structure to any garden. Its original homeland is the mountain plains and edges of thickets in western China, where it naturally grows alongside other tall perennials. Despite its fragile appearance, it is a very resilient plant that thrives best in partial shade or sun, in well-drained loamy and humous soil with regular watering. You will receive an already grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flowerbed. Once established, it handles even severe frosts dropping below thirty degrees without problems. Moreover, caring for it is so easy that even complete beginners can easily manage it. The plant is avoided by pests and diseases, and it needs no support to reach a height of over one meter. The spectacular look of meadow rue is ensured not only by its tiny pinnate leaves but primarily by the flowers themselves. These grow from mid-summer to autumn in loose panicles on thin, purplish-colored stems. The individual small flowers have a delicate lilac shade with yellow stamens conspicuously protruding from them. In flowerbeds, they provide a beautiful airy lace effect that perfectly complements the heavier and fuller flowers of other perennials. During the long flowering period, bees and other pollinators fondly land on the plant. Although the entire plant is poisonous, it has an irreplaceable place in the garden. If you enjoy creating fresh bouquets, meadow rue will guaranteed please you. Harvest stems full of tiny flowers for the vase, which will add an unusual delicacy to the arrangement and stay fresh in water for about seven days. The plant is not suitable for drying.

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 largeleaf brunnera comes from the moist mountain forests of the Caucasus, where it forms dense undergrowth. It is an ideal perennial for shady and semi-shady corners of your garden, where it will thrive in humus-rich, moist soil. It resembles classic forget-me-nots in appearance, but don't be fooled, its leaves are much larger, heart-shaped, and rough to the touch. Thanks to them, it acts as a great groundcover plant that sprouts early in the spring and reliably covers bare soil with its leaves until late autumn. It thus forms a natural contrasting background for the delicate, tiny flowers. Tiny sky-blue flowers appear in April, May, and June, creating a beautiful delicate veil over the green carpet of leaves. The flower clusters are also suitable for cutting into spring hand-tied bouquets, where they look very tender. Just watch out for snails and slugs, who like to feast on the juicy leaves of the brunnera, so it's a good idea to check the plants regularly. It is a long-lived and hardy perennial that handles severe frosts without problems and will bring you joy in one place for many years.

Clematis 'Mrs R. Brydon' is an unusual and very resilient perennial that brings softness and color to the garden just as summer transitions into autumn. The original species comes from the shrubby and forest edges of East Asia, which is why a location in the sun or partial shade suits it well here too. It will thrive in loamy and humus-rich soil with regular watering. An interesting feature of this clematis is its variable growth. If you provide it with support in the form of a fence or trellis, it will willingly climb up to a height of two and a half meters. However, if you leave it to grow freely without support, it grows like a carpet and forms a dense shrub. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you can simply transplant straight into the garden. Care is easy, it doesn't suffer from diseases or pests, and even beginners can easily manage it. During August and September, it gets covered in an abundance of flowers in a gorgeous lavender-blue shade, which react to the ambient temperature and can interestingly fade or darken.

Mullein brings a touch of wild nature and unusual elegance to the garden. In their natural habitat, these majestic plants colonize sun-drenched locations and dry slopes, which gives them extraordinary resilience. They thrive best in full sun in well-drained, rather sandy soil, where they do not suffer from winter moisture. Although it is a short-lived perennial, thanks to its height of up to one hundred and twenty centimeters, it forms an unmissable vertical element in the flowerbeds. It fits perfectly into steppe areas alongside fine drought-tolerant grasses and other perennials. During May and June, its tall stems become a sought-after pasture for bees and other pollinators. The plant easily handles frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees and does not suffer from diseases or pests, so transplanting and growing this seedling is suitable even for complete beginners. If you like to decorate your interior, you can also use mullein in summer bouquets. We harvest the stems when about half of the flowers in the inflorescence are open, and they last around five days in a vase. The Southern Charm cultivar is exceptional for its coloration. The flowers bloom in soft peach and apricot tones and transition into an elegant dusty pink color as they fade.

The Star Frost globe thistle is a pure white and compactly growing form of the globe thistle, which is naturally widespread in the region from Southern Europe to Central Asia. Its perfectly spherical flowers, about the size of a golf ball, float on sturdy stems above a clump of indented leaves. These are deep green on top and silvery grey-green on the underside, which gives the plant an interesting visual effect even before blooming. It acts as a striking feature in the garden, which is perfectly suited for natural and drought-tolerant plantings. The flowers are literally a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, who find a rich food source on them. If you like creating bouquets, the globe thistle will thrill you with its long vase life.

If you like tying summer bouquets, you will fall in love with Joe-Pye weed. The firm stems are excellent for cutting and last very long fresh in a vase.

Clustered bellflower grows wild in meadows and forest edges, mostly on calcareous soils. Its flowers are arranged in dense clusters at the ends of upright stems. It is well suited for cutting, lasting up to 14 days in a vase. 'Caroline' has flowers in an unconventional purple-pink color with a richer purple edge.

Phlomis tuberosa, known in Czech as tuberous Jerusalem sage, brings an unmistakable silhouette to perennial plantings. This robust plant, originally from the European steppes, is perfectly suited for lovers of natural gardens looking for something novel. Its dark purple stems form an interesting contrast to the light pinkish-lilac flowers, which are arranged in regular whorls one above the other. This tiered structure appears very decorative and looks interesting in the bed, especially in combination with finer plants. For florists, Phlomis is a literal treasure. You can cut it for fresh summer bouquets, but its true moment comes when dried. The faded seed pods hold their shape perfectly and will continue to look spectacular in a vase all winter. If you leave it in the bed, it will provide a beautiful spectacle even in the months when the garden is sleeping. It is a completely undemanding and frost-resistant perennial that loves the sun and well-drained soil. In nature here, it belongs to the critically endangered species, so growing it in the garden is also a small contribution to the protection of biodiversity.

A verbena species originally from South America. In our country, it is often used as an annual, but in mild winters it can overwinter and reproduce by self-seeding. The firm, airy stems beautifully soften perennial beds and make them special with their purple color. It beautifully complements steppe plantings with grasses and rose beds.

This species of sage originally comes from the steppe regions of Central and Eastern Europe. It forms profusely flowering small clumps with straight upright stems.

However, it will look just as good in mixed drought-loving steppe plantings with grasses. It lasts 7 days in a vase. The cultivar Caradonna stands out with a long flowering period and dark, almost black-purple stems with tiny purple flowers and dark purple bracts. If we cut it back after flowering, it will bloom again in late August and September.

Quaking grass 'Tinkerbell' is an undemanding native grass whose delicate appearance will enchant in any natural garden. It naturally grows in drier meadows across Europe, where it seeks poorer and well-drained soils. It easily handles less nutritious substrates, does not suffer from diseases, and effortlessly survives severe frosts.
