Thalictrum delavayi
Meadow rue Decorum
Meadow rue 'Decorum' brings unrepeatable lightness and elegance to perennial beds. This robust perennial comes from the mountainous regions of China, where it grows in moister thickets and on grassy slopes. In the garden, it will enchant you with its delicate, lilac to lavender flowers that hover like a purple haze above the dark green, finely divided leaves. It grows to an impressive height of up to 150 cm, making it a great fit for the background of flower beds, where it forms an airy backdrop for other plants. Given its height and fragile appearance, it will appreciate support so the wind does not break it. It loves humous, well-drained soil with plenty of moisture and a location in full sun or partial shade. The flowers are a magnet for pollinators, and in summer, the bed will literally come alive with buzzing. Even though the plant looks very delicate, it is fully frost-hardy. If you like making bouquets, meadow rue is an ideal addition for lightening up the arrangement, but it is not suitable for drying. Just remember that the entire plant is poisonous.

Helleborus orientalis
Hellebore Double Ellen Picotee
Hellebores are evergreen perennials that form slowly spreading clumps of leathery, dark green leaves. The stems usually carry four to five flowers. They bloom very early, as early as late winter and early spring. They can be used in a vase only after conspicuous seed pods form in the center of the flower and the flower matures. Picked earlier, they tend to wilt and the stems cannot hold the flower upright. All parts of the plant are poisonous. The semi-double flowers of the Double Ellen Picotee hellebore take on white and light pink hues with a purplish-burgundy edging.

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.

Clematis heracleifolia
Clematis Mrs R. Brydon
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. The flowers reliably attract bees and are suitable for cutting into bouquets. When handling, remember that the plant is poisonous.

Thalictrum aquilegiifolium
Columbine meadow-rue
Columbine meadow-rue is a charming perennial that looks like a fluffy colored cloud in the garden. Its species name refers to the striking resemblance of its leaves to columbines; they are finely divided, grayish-green, and very decorative even before flowering. Originally, this species grows in moister open forests and meadows of Europe and Asia, which is why it will also thrive in your garden in humus-rich and non-drying soil in full sun or partial shade. In June and July, the plant drapes itself in a veil of tiny blossoms, consisting mainly of conspicuous clusters of stamens without petals. These fluffy inflorescences in shades of lilac and light pink attract a multitude of pollinators and bees. Thanks to its height, which can exceed one meter, it is perfectly suited for the background of perennial beds, to which it adds lightness, height, and airiness. The flowers are also excellent for cutting into a vase, where they stay fresh and act as a delicate filler material. It is a long-lived and completely frost-resistant plant suitable even for beginners; you just need to keep in mind that it is poisonous.

Phlox paniculata
Phlox Franz Schubert
Phlox, known as 'plamenka' in Czech, is originally a native perennial from the moister meadows and forest edges of North America. It soon achieved great popularity in European gardens and has been systematically bred since the nineteenth century. It is a classic garden perennial that brings a romantic mood and abundant floods of flowers to summer beds. The approximately one meter tall straight stems are adorned with deep green leaves and bear dense inflorescences on top from July to August. At the same time, the whole plant smells very pleasantly, which acts as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies from the wide surroundings.
Although phlox is very easy to grow and even complete beginners can manage the care, it pays to pay attention to the correct choice of location. We send customers already mature seedlings in a pot, which you can easily transplant directly into the garden. Here, phlox thrives best in a sunny to semi-shady location with loamy, humous, and well-drained soil. It is ideal to keep a spacing of about fifty centimeters when planting so that each clump has enough space to grow. They like plenty of moisture, and stable humidity is important to them. During severe drought, they can react sensitively and be more susceptible to powdery mildew, so they will welcome more abundant watering in the hot summer. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about pests; they avoid it. As for winter, you can throw your worries behind you, because the plant can handle severe frosts down to minus thirty-four degrees.
In ornamental beds, phlox stands out both individually in larger groups and in combination with other summer perennials or shorter ornamental grasses. Furthermore, it is an absolutely ideal plant for cutting into vases. It will lend your home not only beautiful pastel colors but also its unmistakable sweet scent. We recommend harvesting stems for bouquets when approximately half of the flowers in the main inflorescence are already fully open. If you provide them with clean water, they will reward you with extraordinary durability and will easily last ten days in a vase.
The Franz Schubert variety attracts with purple to pink flowers that fade towards the edges. The pastel color stands out in the vicinity of darker-colored plants.

Physostegia virginiana
Obedient Plant Rosea
Obedient plant is native to the eastern regions of North America, where it naturally grows on river banks and wet meadows.

It forms upright, bushy clumps that willingly spread into the surroundings via root runners, allowing it to fill empty spaces in flower beds. The flowers have the shape of a slender spike with four rows of tubular blooms that strikingly resemble snapdragons. The 'Rosea' cultivar will delight you with its delicate light pink color and great vitality, thanks to which it spreads easily and quickly. It is an ideal perennial for beginners because it does not suffer from pests or diseases and is fully frost-resistant. For florists, obedient plant is a literal treasure. We harvest it as soon as the first flowers on the inflorescence open; they then continue to bloom in the vase and stay fresh for an impressive 10 to 14 days. In late summer bouquets, it forms a great companion for dahlias, adding flair to them with its vertical line. The faded flower spikes with seeds, which hold their shape, are also interesting and usable for drying in winter arrangements.

Dicentra spectabilis Alba
Bleeding Heart Alba
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.

Catananche caerulea
Shoofly plant Blue
Catananche caerulea, commonly known as Cupid's dart, is a charming plant that will win you over with its lightness and airiness. Its scientific name refers to ancient Greek legends, according to which it was used in love potions; today, however, you will appreciate it more for its undemanding nature and unique appearance. It is excellently suited for natural-style gardens, gravel beds, and drought-tolerant plantings, where it beautifully complements other perennials or ornamental grasses. It grows up to ninety centimeters tall and, despite its height, needs no support. The flowers have a lavender-blue color with a darker center and toothed petals at the ends. They bloom gradually from June to September. Cupid's dart loves drought and heat, but on the contrary, it cannot stand winter dampness, which harms it more than frost. If you provide it with a well-drained spot, it will survive temperatures down to -18 °C. It is a rewarding plant for beginner growers and experienced florists alike. Fresh flowers last a week in a vase, but they will bring you the most joy when dried. Harvest them fully open in dry weather and hang them upside down. They will keep their shape and remind you of summer all winter long.

Knautia macedonica
Knautia Red Knight
Macedonian scabious is an abundantly and long-blooming, undemanding perennial that will bring the untamed charm of summer meadows to the garden. Its wild form originates from the sun-drenched Balkans, where it naturally grows on sunny hillsides and in warm thickets. You will receive from us a mature seedling in a pot, which just needs to be transplanted into well-drained loamy or sandy soil in the sun or partial shade. Here it will quickly take root and form a vigorous clump. The Red Knight cultivar enchants with slender stems up to ninety centimeters tall, which all summer from June to September carry a flood of dark burgundy to deep wine-red flowers. These edible flowers act as a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and other insects. The plant is an ideal choice for beginners because it reliably resists frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees and does not suffer from any pests or diseases. Although it belongs to short-lived perennials, in a suitable place it gladly self-seeds. It will fit perfectly into naturalistically designed plantings with ornamental grasses and is popularly used in sweeping meadow bouquets. We recommend cutting the flowers fully open; they will then stay beautifully fresh in a vase for several days.

Papaver orientale
Oriental Poppy Royal Wedding
Oriental poppy Royal Wedding is an unmissable perennial that brings true elegance to the spring garden. It originally comes from the harsher conditions of the Caucasus, Turkey, and Iran, where it grows on sunny rocky slopes and dry meadows. Because of this, it is exceptionally resilient, easily handling frosts down to minus forty degrees, and can do without complex care. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant to a sunny location with well-drained loamy soil. The cultivar Royal Wedding will reward you in May and June with huge bowl-shaped flowers with pure white petals, which hide a distinct dark burgundy spot in their center. Moreover, these enchanting flowers reliably attract pollinators from far and wide. It is typical for Oriental poppies that their strikingly fuzzy green leaves die back soon after flowering. The plant takes a break over the warmest summer to gather strength, and a smaller portion of the leaves often sprouts again only at the end of summer. Therefore, it is ideal to plant the poppy in the flower bed in close proximity to other perennials that sprout slightly later and naturally fill the empty space left by the resting poppy. It avoids diseases and needs no support, reaching a height of around sixty to eighty centimeters. Just watch out for field voles, which might develop a taste for its fleshy roots. Otherwise, it is a long-lived plant that even a complete beginner can handle without worries. Given that the plant is poisonous, it is naturally not intended for consumption. The giant white flowers are also a great attraction for lovers of cut flowers, although they require a little trick. Similar to other poppies, the stems need to be harvested exactly at the moment when the buds begin to color and slightly crack. Right after cutting, we sear the ends of the stems with a flame for about twenty seconds to prevent sap leakage, and then we put them into cold water. Thanks to this procedure, they will stay beautiful for about four days in a vase and add amazing lightness to bouquets. Although these delicate flowers are not suitable for drying, they simply have no competition in fresh spring bouquets.

Verbascum nigrum var. album
Black Mullein
Dark mullein is a native perennial and a popular medicinal herb that will bring a piece of unbridled nature into your garden. Its natural home is found on sunny slopes, embankments, and roadsides, which is why it thrives best in our gardens in full sun, in well-drained and rather sandy soil. It can handle longer periods of drought and easily survives frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. It forms a neat basal rosette of dark green leaves, from which sturdy stems over a meter tall emerge in May and June. While the original wild species blooms yellow, this exceptional var. album form boasts pure white flowers cleverly decorated with purple and finely hairy stamens. These flowers act literally as a magnet for bees and other beneficial pollinators. Although it is a short-lived perennial, if it likes it at your place, it will reliably take care of new seedlings and grow in the same spot in the following years. In a flowerbed, it perfectly complements drought-tolerant grasses and fits beautifully into naturally styled plantings. You can also confidently cut the sturdy, tall flower stems for a vase, where they will look stunning for several days, and they serve as an unconventional element in summer bouquets. Mullein does not require any complicated care, and generally does not suffer from pests or diseases, so even complete beginners can grow it without any trouble.

Nepeta racemosa
Catmint Walker’s Low
Catmints are ideal companions for roses, suitable for naturalistic gardens, and lower species also for boxes and pots. Some of them are an irresistible attraction for cats, caused by the hallucinogen nepetalactone. This should be present in the highest amount in the species Nepeta cataria. Conversely, lemon-scented catmints reportedly do not attract cats. The botanical name Nepeta likely comes from the name of the ancient Etruscan city Nepet - Nepi in the territory of today's Italian province of Viterbo, where the plant was once cultivated. Nepeta racemosa naturally grows on dry meadows and rocky, stony slopes from the Caucasus to Central Asia. It has aromatic grey-green leaves and forms a tufted semi-spherical bush. Walker’s Low got its name after an Irish estate where it was bred in 1970. It has the most intense blue-violet flower coloration.

Cultivation
Meadow rue is an aristocrat among perennials that will bring lightness and elegance to your garden, but for it to thrive, it requires a slightly specific approach to water and light. Ideally, plant the seedling in spring or autumn in well-prepared, loose soil. It loves a spot where it has "feet in the shade and head in the sun" – meaning moist, cooler soil, but plenty of light for the flowers. If you plant it in full sun, you must be very disciplined with watering. In partial shade, care is a bit easier. The soil must be humous and nutritious; poor sandy soils will not suit it without a massive addition of compost or leaf mold. When planting, keep sufficient spacing; although the plant appears slender, it takes up quite a bit of space in adulthood and needs air circulation so as not to suffer from fungal diseases, even though it is naturally very resistant to them.
During the summer, especially in the blooming period from July to September, meadow rue becomes a magnet for bees and other pollinators. During this period, make sure the plant does not suffer from thirst – drooping leaves are the first sign of water shortage. If you are growing meadow rue in a container, which is a great choice for east- or west-facing terraces, choose a pot with a diameter of at least 40 cm. Put a layer of expanded clay or gravel at the bottom of the pot to drain excess water, and use a high-quality gardening substrate mixed with compost. The risk of the roots overheating is higher in containers, so do not place the pot on hot concrete and regularly check the moisture of the substrate. Watch out, a plant in a pot is more susceptible to the freezing of the root ball, so wrap it in jute or move it to a protected spot for the winter.
In terms of maintenance, meadow rue is an undemanding, long-lived perennial. After blooming, you can remove dry inflorescences if they bother you aesthetically, but the main pruning is done only after the entire above-ground part has dried, ideally at the end of winter before new shoots emerge. The plant is frost-hardy and does not need to be covered with evergreen branches for the winter in the bed. Although it looks like a fragile fairy, it is a resilient perennial. Given its height, it is advisable to place it so that it is protected from strong gusts of wind. Do not forget that it is a poisonous plant, which is good news for resistance to animal browsing, but it requires caution if you have curious pets in the garden.

Meadow-rue
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.

Columbine meadow-rue
Columbine meadow-rue is a charming perennial that looks like a fluffy colored cloud in the garden. Its species name refers to the striking resemblance of its leaves to columbines; they are finely divided, grayish-green, and very decorative even before flowering. Originally, this species grows in moister open forests and meadows of Europe and Asia, which is why it will also thrive in your garden in humus-rich and non-drying soil in full sun or partial shade. In June and July, the plant drapes itself in a veil of tiny blossoms, consisting mainly of conspicuous clusters of stamens without petals. These fluffy inflorescences in shades of lilac and light pink attract a multitude of pollinators and bees. Thanks to its height, which can exceed one meter, it is perfectly suited for the background of perennial beds, to which it adds lightness, height, and airiness. The flowers are also excellent for cutting into a vase, where they stay fresh and act as a delicate filler material. It is a long-lived and completely frost-resistant plant suitable even for beginners; you just need to keep in mind that it is poisonous.

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.
