Goat's beard Opulenz
Goatsbeard 'Opulenz' represents an ideal choice for livening up the shadier corners of the garden, where it will form a dense and compact mound. This tiny perennial, originally from Korea, is actually a miniature version of our native standard goatsbeard. It grows to a height of only 20 to 30 centimeters and stands out with its finely divided, fern-like leaves, which form a fresh green undergrowth. In May and June, airy panicles of tiny creamy-white flowers, resembling astilbes, rise above the leaves.
A great advantage of this undemanding plant is its all-season effect. After blooming, it decorates the flower bed with its interesting structure, and in autumn, its leaves turn beautiful shades of bronze to orange-red. It loves humous and moister soil in partial shade, so it fits perfectly on the edges of beds, in shady rockeries, or as an underplanting beneath shrubs and trees. It is fully frost-hardy and does not suffer from pests or diseases. The inflorescences can also be used in smaller bouquets, adding lightness and elegance.

Phlox divaricata
Phlox White Perfume
Phlox 'White Perfume' will delight anyone who cannot wait for the typical scent of tall summer phloxes but doesn't want to wait until the holidays. This petite spring perennial originally comes from the light forests of North America, where it forms a natural undergrowth. Thanks to this, it is perfectly suited for partial shade locations in gardens, ideally under taller shrubs or trees, where it can form looser carpet-like growth. It loves well-drained, humus-rich soil that doesn't completely dry out. The flowers are smaller than those of its summer relatives, but all the more charming in their delicacy. The 'White Perfume' variety stands out with its pure white color and airy habit, which adds lightness to flower beds. It is also a rewarding plant for cutting, especially for small spring arrangements, which it makes special with its delicate scent. You will thus bring a piece of the awakening forest into your home.

Calamintha nepeta
Calamint Blue Cloud
Lesser calamint Blue Cloud is an undemanding and modest perennial that reliably perfumes any sunny garden. Its original homeland is the sunny and dry slopes of Southern Europe, which is why it thrives best here in direct sun in well-drained, sandy, or poorer loamy soil. It handles winter without problems, tolerating frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flowerbed, where it will very soon form a compact, airy small shrub reaching a height of up to forty centimeters. It does not suffer from any diseases or pests, so even complete beginners can easily handle caring for it. Throughout late summer and into autumn, it blooms with a record number of tiny blue flowers that are so typical of the Blue Cloud variety. The whole plant emits a pleasant minty-spicy scent, and its flowers, which resemble thyme, act as a literal magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. It will look great among roses or in naturally designed steppe flowerbeds, where it naturally complements lower ornamental grasses. Additionally, both the blue flowers and green leaves are edible, so you can use them to garnish summer dishes. Lesser calamint is also excellently suited for cutting into smaller fresh bouquets, adding a fine structure to them in a vase.

Heuchera hybrida
Coral bells Rockies Amber
Coral bells 'Rockies Amber' is a fascinating perennial that is guaranteed to liven up the shady corners of your garden with its colors. The original wild species of coral bells come from the forest and rocky areas of North America, where they grow as undergrowth beneath tree canopies. That is why they feel best in partial shade or shade here as well. Normal loamy and well-drained soil with a medium intensity of watering suits it. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted straight into the flower bed, where it will easily survive even severe frosts dropping down to minus thirty-four degrees. It is an ideal choice for beginners; the plant needs no support and caring for it is really easy, it's just good to occasionally watch out for vine weevils. The 'Rockies Amber' cultivar stands out with gorgeous leaves in shades of orange and bronze, which will keep the flower bed attractive even during the cold months thanks to its beautiful winter effect. From May to July, it additionally produces delicate creamy white flowers on stems twenty to forty centimeters high, which are happily visited by bees and other pollinators. A planting spacing of thirty to forty centimeters will allow coral bells to form a continuous carpet; it is enough to plant seven to nine of them per square meter. The flowers perfectly lighten up summer bouquets, so do not hesitate to cut them for a vase. Conversely, they are not suitable for drying, but they will reliably bring joy in the flower bed, even though it belongs more among short-lived perennials.

Actaea simplex
Bugbane Pink Spike
Bugbane 'Pink Spike' is a long-lived perennial that will bring elegance and a delicate fragrance to the shady corners of the garden. It originally comes from the moist forests of East Asia, so it thrives best in partial shade or shade here. For its satisfaction, it needs humous and well-drained soil that retains enough moisture. Especially in summer, it will appreciate regular watering. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted straight into the flower bed. There it will soon form a massive clump reaching a height of up to one hundred and eighty centimeters. Despite this height, it has sturdy stems and does not need any support. The 'Pink Spike' cultivar stands out primarily for its deeply lobed leaves, which play with dark shades of burgundy, purple, and bronze. While most of the garden slowly loses its breath at the end of summer, bugbane is just showing its best from August to October. Towering above the dark leaves are long inflorescences composed of tiny white and light pink flowers. These brush-like inflorescences also smell pleasant and act as a reliable magnet for bees and other pollinators. It is a completely undemanding plant that easily handles even bitter frosts dropping to minus thirty-four degrees. Common diseases naturally avoid it and it does not suffer from pests. However, the entire plant is poisonous, which must be kept in mind when choosing a location. After blooming, bugbane does not wilt out of sight but retains its interesting structure. If you leave the dried stems on the flower bed, they will provide a beautiful spectacle even during the winter months under a layer of snow. In garden composition, bugbane acts as a dominant feature of shady parts. It is mostly planted at one to three plants per square meter, roughly sixty to eighty centimeters apart. The long and straight inflorescences can be very well used for cutting into fresh bouquets. Conversely, it is not suitable for drying into permanent decorations because the flowers lose their shape. As a long-lived perennial, 'Pink Spike' will settle permanently in the right place and bring you joy for many years without spreading by self-seeding to the surroundings.

Loosestrife Swirl
'Swirl' is a profusely flowering cultivar of wand loosestrife that will bring lightness and elegance to your garden. Compared to the common purple loosestrife, it has much airier inflorescences and a more slender habit, so it doesn't spread as much in flower beds. It grows to a height of about one meter and adorns the garden with its purplish-pink flowers all summer long. Although its natural home is in moister habitats, it is surprisingly tolerant to drier conditions compared to other species. This makes it a versatile plant that you can place both near water features and in mixed perennial plantings, where it beautifully complements grasses or other moisture-loving perennials. In addition to summer flowering, the loosestrife will delight you even at the end of the season. Its smooth and narrow leaves turn striking shades of red in the autumn, creating an interesting contrast to fading plants. It is an ideal choice for beginners because it requires no support, does not suffer from diseases, and is fully frost-resistant. If you like to create bouquets, don't hesitate to cut a few stems for a vase; they look very natural and wild in floral decorations. The plant is also a great attraction for bees and butterflies, providing them with plenty of nectar.

In the garden, it represents an indispensable food source for pollinators and beautifully complements ornamental grasses or other sun-loving species. In addition, the plant is edible, and you can use its typical spicy aroma in summer cooking.

Coreopsis Moonbeam
If you are looking for a delicate and long-blooming plant for full sun, whorled tickseed is a great choice. The basic species originates from North America, and here it thrives best in a sunny spot and well-drained, rather drier loamy soil. Although it is a short-lived perennial, with the right care and a well-chosen location, it can bring joy for several years. A distinctive feature of this species is its rich foliage of very tiny leaves, which form low, about forty-centimeter-tall bushes. After transplanting from the pot, the mature seedling is perfectly suited for the edges of flower beds or mixed drought-tolerant compositions, where it beautifully softens the overall look. In addition, the plant is fully frost-hardy, requires no special care, and is free from diseases. The 'Moonbeam' variety stands out with countless smaller, creamy-yellow flowers. These appear in mid-summer and continue to decorate the garden until early autumn, providing rich pasture for pollinators. You can easily cut the delicate stems with flowers to bring home. They will add an informal meadow touch to bouquets and will maintain their freshness in a vase for about seven days.

Cultivation
Garden placement and soil requirements
For this compact perennial, look for cooler and moister corners in your garden. It will thrive best when planted under trees, shrubs, or in shaded rock gardens. It requires a shaded or semi-shaded location; in direct sun, it would suffer from drought and scorching. The soil should be loose, humus-rich, and loamy, with good water-retention capacity. If your garden soil is poor, work in organic matter, such as compost, before planting the seedling. Thanks to its low stature (20–40 cm) and dense growth habit, it works perfectly as a ground cover plant, effectively covering bare spots and adding a fern-like structure to the flower bed with striking bronze foliage in spring and autumn.
Planting and year-round care
Plant the seedlings so that the crown of the plant is neither buried too deep nor sticking out above the surface. The ideal planting density is 9–12 plants per m², which corresponds to spacing of about 35 cm. A crucial factor for the prosperity of the Astilbe (Goatsbeard) is moisture. The soil should always be slightly damp, but not waterlogged. During periods of drought or when grown in drier areas, regular watering is necessary. As for maintenance, this is a long-lived perennial that won't burden you with pest or disease control, as it is naturally resistant to them. In spring, we recommend removing old dead leaves from the previous season to make room for new, fresh growth.
Container growing and overwintering
Thanks to its miniature size, Astilbe 'Bronze' is an excellent choice for growing in containers. If you choose this option, select a pot with a drainage hole and place a layer of gravel or expanded clay at the bottom so the roots do not sit in water. Use a quality substrate for perennials and place the pot in the shade. Remember that plants in pots are entirely dependent on your watering and nutrients, so fertilize regularly during the season. In terms of frost hardiness, the plant is extremely resilient (zone 4a, tolerates temperatures down to -34 °C) and will easily survive even harsh winters in the ground without cover. However, for plants in containers, it is advisable to wrap the pot in jute or polystyrene for the winter, as frost acts on the roots more intensely from all sides than it does in the ground.
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.

The flowers are also suitable for cutting into smaller vases, where they stay fresh for several days and add a gentle touch to arrangements.

Alchemilla mollis
Lady's mantle Irish Silk
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.

Eryngium planum
Sea Holly
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.

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.
