Statice is a classic from grandma's garden, but also an evergreen of dried flowers. We grow statice by the hundreds! It is incredibly useful in bouquets as filler material and even undried lasts a long time in a vase. Once all the florets on the stem bloom, statice no longer wilts and is suitable for wreaths, corsages, boutonnieres. QIS Pastel is a beautiful sample of colors in tones of blue, violet, lavender and pink. One plant produces at least 15 stems. For drying, we harvest statice at the stage when the stem under the flower is firm and the entire inflorescence has bloomed. Just hang them upside down, in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.

Cosmos are one of the most popular flowers on our farm. They resemble Daisies and customers love them. And now imagine that such a hit comes in a double-flowered version! Absolutely magnificent! A flood of flowers resembling cotton candy; the Bicolor pink variant is full of soft pink shades. Some blooms are cool pink and others are in a warm blush color. One plant produces at least 12 stems.

Cosmos 'Apricot Lemonade' brings a novel palette of colors to summer gardens and is easy to grow from seed, even if you are a complete beginner. While these annuals were previously known mostly in white and pink, this cultivar surprises with delicate pastel tones of peach, yellow, and powder pink. It won us over immediately and has become an indispensable part of our flower plantings. The plant forms dense clumps with typical linear leaves and grows quite tall, so it benefits from support in the flower bed. From early summer until October, it is covered in a profusion of gentle flowers that soften every space and provide food for beneficial pollinators. If you like creating your own bouquets, you will be thrilled, as they look absolutely magical in a vase. The ideal time for sowing begins in April with indoor starting, or you can sow directly in a sunny spot from May to July.

We grow basils for bouquets, but every basil piece in our offer can also be used for cooking. Cinamonette has wine-green leaves, dark wine stems, and wine flowers. Taste-wise, it is an atypical basil with a rather Asian flavour. In bouquets, it looks novel and functions directly as an edible flower. If you plan to harvest for cut flowers, allow the stems to lignify and harvest in the morning.

The largest and most luxurious flower in the entire Tall Double Cornflower family. The blooms are full with plenty of tiny florets, appearing fluffy, like a feather.

A muted, slightly ashy white. Nigella is a spring beauty, but its pods are also great for harvesting, so it lasts in the flowerbed until summer.

Cosmos are an absolute classic and a matter of the heart for us! In the past, we cut them by hundreds of stems on the farm and our customers, especially brides, literally loved them for their lightness and elegance. While common cosmos mainly offer a white and deep pink palette, 'Apricotta' brings a completely new and fresh color tone to the flowerbeds. It is a unique combination of light pink and the lightest salmon, which looks incredibly tender and original. The flowers have a silky appearance and gently sway in the wind, which adds pleasant dynamics to the garden.

There are never enough grasses; you need lots of them if you tie bouquets, and they look beautiful in ornamental beds in the garden too. Umbrella is a very nice type of millet. The ears bend after ripening and create a waterfall effect. The fruits are larger, beautifully visible little balls. Such a waterfall of beads.

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.

Nigella damascena Midnight is an elegant annual that attracts attention with its unconventional flowers. Originally from the sunny regions of the Mediterranean and North Africa, it thrives best in sunny or semi-shaded locations. The Midnight cultivar stands out with its deep, dark purple to plum-toned flowers, which reach a size of about five centimeters. Together with its delicate green foliage, it creates a beautiful texture in the garden. The plant grows to a height of fifty to one hundred centimeters and has an airy appearance in the flowerbed, although it appreciates a little support for bushier clumps. You will love Nigella not only in the garden but also for creating bouquets. Its dark purple flowers look absolutely stunning in a vase and stay fresh for a long time. It is also valuable to florists after it has finished blooming, as it produces very decorative seed pods that are easy to dry and fit well into winter dried arrangements and wreaths. Whether you let it stand out next to light-colored annuals or incorporate it into wild, naturalistic plantings, it is guaranteed to liven up any corner.

The lightest powder pink. A very trendy color, you will use it essentially in the arrangement of any wedding.

Moving towards the center, the petals get smaller and end up unopened at the center, creating a frosted cupcake effect. No other Zinnia compares!

A divine cocktail of sunset colors. From light champagne and apricot to salmon. The Strawflower is a classic from grandma's garden but also a staple for dried flowers. We love using them for weddings because they don't wilt. They are suitable for corsages, wreaths, and buttonholes. For drying, harvest flowers that are not yet fully open, when the yellow center is not yet visible. Also check the stem below the flower; it should already be firm, not 'rubbery'. Just hang them upside down in a dry, ventilated place out of direct sunlight.

Celway White is not a white variant as the name might suggest; it is more like the lightest shade of green. Celway has tiny brushes on beautiful, straight stems. An interesting texture for bouquets, it adds a unique touch and also dries perfectly for winter arrangements. One plant produces one strong stem with a mass of spikes; after cutting, you can harvest a few more thin stems.

Larkspurs are spring beauties that are unmatched. But if you want to harvest them for cut flowers, you must be vigilant and harvest quickly before all buds open. Especially in the warm springs of recent years, they bloom quickly, so we sow several batches 14 days apart just to keep up with the harvest. Larkspur QIS Rose is an unusual shade of darker warm pink, fitting beautifully in combination with orange. From one plant you will harvest one thicker stem and 4-5 smaller side ones.

Afternoon White is a snow-white piece, bred specifically for cutting. That is why we are newly adding it to our offer. Cosmos is among the most used items on our farm. In season, we cut hundreds of stems every day. Hats off to this one, it's a super cut flower!

Cosmos 'Rosetta' is one of our favorite annuals. Its shape resembles a large daisy, but its flowers shine in shades of dark and light pink that look like they were painted with delicate brushstrokes. It originates naturally from the sunny regions of America, and here, it thrives best in a bright location. As it is a low-maintenance plant, growing it from seeds is easy even for beginners. You can sow the seeds indoors on a windowsill starting in April, or directly into a spot in the flower bed from May to July. Germination takes only a few days. It grows to a height of about one meter, forms beautifully sturdy stems, and blooms from June until October, constantly attracting bees and butterflies. In the garden, it is an excellent addition to mixed borders. If you enjoy creating bouquets, 'Rosetta' will thrill you as a cut flower. From a single plant, you will gradually get at least twelve strong stems for the vase.

The Delft Blue variety is one of the most interesting Nigella cultivars. It brings the relaxed atmosphere of a country garden to your flower beds while requiring almost no care. It thrives in full sun or partial shade, preferring standard, well-draining soil. From spring through summer, blooms in soft tones of white, violet, and plum open above a canopy of fresh green leaves. Although they do not contain fragrant oils, they reliably attract bees and butterflies. Growing from seeds is fast and ideal even for absolute beginners. Nigella tolerates transplanting from pre-grown seedlings, but it also responds excellently to direct sowing right into the bed during the spring or late summer months. Throughout the summer, you can continuously cut the sturdy stems for fresh bouquets or leave them to fully mature. The resulting seed pods are perfect for drying and using in winter decorations.

We love all flowers here that grow ready to be dried and are suitable for wedding crafting or any kind of arranging. And Globe amaranth belongs to this group. It is not a cut flower that breaks records. Its advantage lies in the flower, which is tiny and straw-like. For drying, we harvest colored, round heads in full bloom. Once the inflorescence starts to elongate, it is too late for drying. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, away from sunlight.
