Muhly grass Rosy

A beautiful fine grass native to the southern parts of North America. It has narrow grey-green leaves. The flowers bloom in fluffy clouds of deep pink, creating the impression of a light haze over the flower bed. Beautiful in bouquets too.

A classic among the whites; we've been growing it on the farm for several years now. Coneflower is a perennial, but don't worry, it's grown from seeds quite simply. Even growing it on in a pot is a breeze! Coneflower is a great cut flower and reproduces nicely. We also recommend drying the central parts for winter arrangements.

Talinum latnaté, známé pod názvem Jewels of Opar, vnáší do zahrad i kytic lehkost a hravost. Tato nenáročná letnička tvoří přízemní růžici svěže zelených listů, ze kterých od června vyrůstají tenké, šedesát až devadesát centimetrů dlouhé stonky. Na jejich vrcholcích se otevírají obláčky drobných kvítků v zářivých odstínech karmínové, korálové a růžové. Přitahují pozornost včel a motýlů, zatímco samotná rostlina je navíc zcela jedlá. V záhonu působí jemně a vyplní místa mezi výraznějšími trvalkami. Jako výplňová zeleň vynikne i ve váze. Řezat můžete kvetoucí stonky nebo počkat na drobné lesklé semeníky, které lze snadno usušit. Semena talina zvládnou vypěstovat i začátečníci. Vyséváme je od dubna do června na slunné či polostinné stanoviště s propustnou půdou. Na povrchu je nezasypáváme, ke klíčení potřebují světlo. Netrpí na škůdce a na konci léta se ochotně sama přesévají.

An original wild perennial with a large distribution area from Europe to Siberia. Suitable for natural and wild plantings. It grows in meadows and dry grassy places. A very adaptable and undemanding plant, it grows in clumps and spreads by runners. Cutting back after the first bloom will encourage a flush of new flowers. We harvest them for bouquets when the florets are fully open. They last 10 days in a vase. 'Cerise Queen' has deep pink to purplish-pink flowers, gradually fading to light pink.

Knautia macedonica is an abundantly and long-flowering undemanding perennial. Its wild form originates from the Balkans, where it grows in meadows and scrubland. It enchants in flower beds with slender, tall stems bearing pastel burgundy and pink flowers. Suitable for naturalistic sunny to semi-shady beds and meadow bouquets.

Ammi likes low temperatures, so it is purely a spring and autumn beauty. It adds a fresh and airy effect to all bouquets, and the same applies to the flower bed. The flowers are composed of individual tiny florets resembling lace, which is why we use it instead of baby's breath. 'Casablanca' is a larger Ammi; the plants are taller and more robust, the stems stronger, and it doesn't fade as quickly. Still, we recommend sowing more than once.

Our Lenka used to bring Centranthus to us for wedding bouquets from her own garden, until we decided to grow it on our farm too. It is an undemanding piece, it prefers a sunny spot. The stems are fleshy and the inflorescence resembles oregano. For us, a great filler piece for bouquets. Color raspberry to pink.

Penstemon digitalis Mystica is a relatively robust and long-lived perennial with attractive bronze-purple foliage and white-violet flowers. The decorative spent flower heads continue to adorn flower beds well into winter. However, the plant can also be cut back after flowering to encourage new growth. The main difference between Mystica and Husker Red lies in the foliage. Mystica leaves should be more durable and visually attractive even after the first frosts. We recommend cutting back the Penstemon after flowering so it sprouts again. Lasts 5 to 7 days in a vase.

An interesting name and an unusual flower resembling baby's breath. The rich blooms on the stems invite you to divide them into several smaller vases to decorate a windowsill. It finishes blooming quickly, so we recommend succession planting. You will harvest 3-4 stems from a single plant.

The most beautiful shade of Rudbeckia is finally in our offer! 'Sahara' is a double-flowered Rudbeckia and contains a mixture of shades from burgundy to brick, brown, yellow, ochre, and the softest muted apricot. All have dark, distinct centers. Well, simply cute, as our Alenka says.

Cosmos is one of the most used items on our farm. In season, we cut hundreds of stems every day. Hats off to it, it is a super cut flower! Cupcakes is a series of Cosmos where the flowers are shaped like cupcake wrappers. This creates a unique effect in both bouquets and flower beds. Cupcakes Blush comes in shades of soft pink.

The blue cornflower is an absolute classic of our fields and meadows, which probably needs no lengthy introduction. However, the 'Tall Double Blue Boy' variety brings something extra. Compared to its wild relatives that we see along roads, it boasts rich flowers in an unmistakable, deep blue shade, sometimes with a purple tone. You can hardly imagine anything more meadow-like. Thanks to its strong stems growing up to eighty centimeters tall, this annual is perfectly suited for cutting, adding true rustic charm to bouquets. But its use doesn't end in the vase. The flowers keep their fantastic color even after drying! At weddings, we loved using them in flower crowns and corsages, where they have excellent stamina! The petals are edible. They serve perfectly as an original garnish for summer salads, desserts, or festive cakes. Moreover, in the garden, it functions as a reliable magnet for bees and bumblebees, who simply go crazy for its nectar.

Single feverfew, a classic among cut flowers. Centers are yellow, petals are white. However, it differs from other single feverfews in our offer. In growth and flowers, it is sparser; one might turn their nose up at it. But! It blooms first of all; it is an early variety and that's why we love it so much!

Great news for all Snapdragon lovers! Finally, a new "open-faced" Snapdragon has appeared on the market, meaning an open flower instead of the classic Snapdragon "mouth". And the second piece of good news is that we immediately added it to our assortment! Snapdragon Frappe Light Pink blooms in shades of the lightest cool pink. The Chantilly series of open-faced Snapdragons seems to be unavailable long-term, so we are glad to have a replacement for you. And it seems to be an even greater replacement. The stems are robust, the plants tall—for us, true cut-flower quality!

Our favorite foliage and filler. It grows beautifully and binds famously! The flowers are yellowish, so they don't color-match every bouquet, but we still never have enough of it! And after flowering, tiny seed pods form which are also beautifully decorative and don't wilt; we love collecting those too.

Although it's named blue, it's a shade of steel blue. Globe thistle is a perennial, but growing it is no hard work! It blooms in May to June, but we recommend harvesting even before it blooms; that's when it's most beautiful! For drying, we harvest when the thistles are colored but before they bloom. Otherwise, they tend to fall apart after drying. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, away from sunlight.

These beauties love heat, which is why we associate them mainly with late summer and early autumn. Scalding helps with vase life: dip freshly cut stems into 90°C water for 3 minutes and then immediately into cold water. One plant produces at least 5 stems. Cherry Brandy is a beautiful shade of dark wine.

An evergreen favorite at the flower market! Sea Holly is a perennial; it lasts for several years in the flowerbed and spreads beautifully. The "flowers" and leaves are slightly prickly; it does look like a miniature thistle after all. The stems and tops are silvery blue. And mature, bloomed Sea Holly doesn't wilt, making it great for drying, wreaths, and similar uses. For drying, harvest when the thistles are colored blue and the stem below the thistle is firm. Just hang them upside down in a dry, ventilated place, out of sunlight.

You can't imagine anything more meadow-like! It is a terrible shame that it can only be grown at lower temperatures. The Tall Double series is a fuller-flowered Cornflower than the one we see along the roadsides. And Black Boy is a truly unique specimen. The color is dark burgundy to black.

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.

Pale pink, delicate lace. Didiscus has a strange name, but it is a great beauty similar to Ammi or ornamental carrot. Flowers are disc-shaped with tiny florets. Didiscus finishes blooming faster, similar to Ammi or ornamental carrot, so we recommend multiple successional sowings. It likes warmth, so it can be sown even in summer.

For drying, we harvest stems with panicles of spikelets just before natural yellowing, ideally after the seeds have fully matured. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.

Ammi likes low temperatures, so it is a purely spring and autumn beauty. It adds a fresh and airy effect to all bouquets, and the same applies to the garden bed. The flowers are delicate, composed of individual tiny florets resembling lace, which is why we use it instead of baby's breath. It finishes blooming faster, so we recommend succession planting.

For drying, we harvest mature spikes, roughly from mid-July. Just hang them upside down, in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.

The Barlow series is our favorite columbine because the flowers are double-flowered! We grow columbines on our farm as annuals, so we sow new ones every year. This saves space and we achieve longer stems. We grow part of the columbines in a polytunnel so we catch the harvest for Mother's Day, when flowers are scarce. Rose Barlow is a beautiful color combination where the flower centers are sweet pink and the outsides and stems are slightly purplish.
