The peach-leaved bellflower forms a basal rosette of leaves, from which upright stems with flowers grow. It spreads via daughter rosettes and gradually creates carpet-like growth. It will look good in naturalistic plantings as well as in classic beds with other perennials for cutting. This bellflower blooms blue and exceptionally abundantly.

This species of sage originates from the steppe regions of Central and Eastern Europe. It forms abundantly flowering small clumps with straight upright stems. In beds, it looks best in groups.

It is an excellent food source for bees. It lasts 7 days in a vase. The cultivar Ostfriesland blooms with a strikingly dark violet-blue color.

Hellebores are evergreen perennials that form slowly spreading clumps of leathery, dark green leaves. The stems usually bear four to five flowers. They bloom very early, as early as late winter and early spring. They are usable for vases only after conspicuous seed pods form in the center of the flower and the flower matures. Earlier, they tend to wilt and the stems cannot hold the flower in an upright position. All parts of the plant are poisonous. Double Ellen White is an almost pure white, double-flowered hellebore. The petals are slightly wavy and the bottom row of petals is lightly tinged with green.

Solidaster 'Lemore' is a unique perennial that originated from an interesting cross between goldenrods and asters. Its parent species come from sunny meadows, which is why it will do best in your garden in full sun in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flower bed. Here, it will soon form clumps about seventy centimeters high, which do not need support and easily survive severe frosts. Solidaster does not suffer from diseases or pests, making cultivation easy even for beginners. From July to September, flowers appear that make the 'Lemore' variety very attractive. They bloom in a bright yellow color and gradually change through cream to milky white. The florets are slightly larger than those of goldenrod, attract bees and butterflies, and are even surprisingly edible. The plant is perfectly suited for cutting into summer arrangements; it will last beautifully in a vase for a full ten days.

Baby's breath Snowflake is an absolute classic that should not be missing in any traditional or modern garden. This perennial plant originally comes from the sandy steppes and sunny slopes of southern Europe and Central Asia, which predestines it to love full sun and well-drained, even sandy soil. It has been grown in botanical gardens since the eighteenth century, and thanks to its low maintenance, it quickly found its way into private gardens as well. It forms rich, airy clumps that look like white clouds when in bloom and bring a unique lightness to flower beds. The Snowflake variety stands out with a flood of pure white, mostly double flowers that appear from June to August. It is an ideal plant for modern steppe plantings, where it perfectly complements ornamental grasses and drought-tolerant perennials, but it is also traditionally planted as a delicate companion to roses. For florists, baby's breath is indispensable. It is excellent for cutting into fresh bouquets, where it adds volume and softens the overall impression, and it can just as well be dried for winter decorations. The plant is frost-hardy and long-lived, so it will bring you joy in the garden for many years.

Larkspur Benary’s Pacific Galahad is an unmissable classic and a true dominant feature among border perennials. Its wild ancestors originate from the mountain meadows and light forests of the Northern Hemisphere, so even in the garden, it will appreciate a sunny location and well-drained, yet nutrient-rich loamy and humous soil with plenty of moisture. You will receive a mature seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted directly into the flowerbed, ideally at a spacing of sixty centimeters, so that it has enough clear space around it for growth. It belongs among plants for intermediate growers, because for its majestic growth to a height of one hundred to one hundred and fifty centimeters, it needs regular fertilizing and copious watering. It is also good to watch out for snails and slugs, which like to feast on its young leaves, and throughout the season to protect the plant from powdery mildew. Larkspur is fully frost-resistant and can handle temperatures dropping to minus thirty-four degrees without difficulty. The entire plant is poisonous, which is good to keep in mind when choosing its spot. You will often see it in the company of roses and peonies, where its pure white flowers form a perfect color contrast. It blooms first in June and, after being cut back in time, usually repeats blooming during August and September. The snow-white flowers reliably attract bees as well as other beneficial pollinators and are an excellent choice for cutting into vases. They will last about seven days in clean water, one just needs to pay attention to the proximity of ripening fruit, because the plant is very sensitive to the released ethylene and would fade faster.

You will receive from us a grown seedling in a pot, fully ready for planting in the flower bed. This is a plant for slightly more advanced growers. It is good to protect it from spring invasions of slugs and in the hot summer keep an eye out for any possible occurrence of powdery mildew. The reward, however, will be perfect flowers that are made for cutting. They will stay fresh in a vase for a whole week, just keep them away from a fruit bowl due to their sensitivity to ethylene. Florists also like to use this variety in dried arrangements, because the typical blue color does not fade after drying. When handling, remember that the entire plant is poisonous. Despite its mild demands, however, thanks to its extreme frost resistance and stunning beauty, it will quickly become the star of any garden.

Stokesia originates from the southeastern part of North America, where it naturally grows in light pine forests on well-drained soils. In our conditions, it will thrive in a sunny, warm place in the company of drought-loving perennials.

The spent inflorescences are also effective, both in beds and in bouquets. White Spires is an elegant cultivar with pure white flowers.

An interesting tuberous perennial with flowers blooming from the top down, that is exactly the popular dense blazing star. Precisely because of this rare peculiarity, where its long inflorescences bloom unconventionally from the tip downwards, it earned its fitting alternative Czech name "shorakvět" (top-flower). Its roots reach the sunny prairies and grassy meadows of North America, which is why it thrives most in direct sun in our gardens too. It does best long-term in well-drained, loamy, and humous soil, where it is provided with regular watering. The 'Floristan Violett' variety will brighten any space with a striking dark purple color. Its unusually shaped flowers appear gradually from July to September and confidently attract an abundance of beneficial bees, bumblebees, and butterflies to the garden.

Blazing star grows to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, and its sturdy stems with narrow green leaves stand perfectly straight even without artificial support. It is a completely low-maintenance plant, so even complete beginner gardeners will easily handle growing it. It easily tolerates extreme frosts well below minus thirty degrees and naturally avoids all diseases. You should only be on the lookout if you have field voles in the garden, which may be attracted to its swollen tubers. In perennial beds, it forms beautiful vertical lines and, in a suitable place, willingly self-seeds into the surroundings. Floristically, it is an immensely valuable and rewarding species for any occasion. The dark purple spikes apply excellently in fresh summer bouquets, where they reliably function as a striking structural element. If you prefer dried arrangements, simply cut the blazing star and dry it; it perfectly retains its shape and rich color. But you definitely don't have to harvest everything for the vase. The dry stems left in the beds create a very eye-catching winter effect and give the resting garden a completely new and interesting dimension over the winter.

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.

The obedient plant is native to the eastern regions of North America, where it naturally lines riverbanks and colonizes wet meadows.

Its flowers resemble snapdragons and are arranged in slender spikes with four rows of tubular blooms that attract bees and other pollinators. The 'Alba' cultivar boasts a pure white color that brings light and elegance to the autumn garden. It blooms from August to October, a time when many other perennials have already finished blooming. For florists, the obedient plant is an absolute treasure. We harvest it for bouquets as soon as the first flowers in the inflorescence open. It then gradually blooms in the vase and stays fresh for 10 to 14 days. It perfectly accompanies dahlias, for example. The faded seed spikes are also interesting and can be used in dried arrangements.

Showy stonecrop is one of the longest-living and hardiest perennials you can treat your garden to. It originally comes from the Far East, where it colonizes sunny and dry slopes. For successful cultivation, you simply need to find it a spot in direct sun with well-drained sandy soil. The 'Matrona' cultivar catches the eye at first glance with its fleshy, grayish-green leaves with a burgundy tinge and sturdy stems that do not break and need no support.

From August to October, it will then delight you with rich, flat inflorescences in an old rose color. It is an ideal choice for those looking for beauty without unnecessary effort. This stonecrop easily survives harsh winters with frosts dropping to minus twenty-eight degrees, and pests and diseases avoid it. The 'Matrona' variety differs from others in that it will reliably grow even in more nutritious soil, provided it is not waterlogged. In perennial compositions, it creates a beautiful contrast next to delicate ornamental grasses and other autumn flowers. During sunny days, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators constantly take turns over its flowers. You can boldly use the sturdy stems with pink umbels for cutting. They stay fresh in a vase for quite a long time and will bring a touch of the slowly ending summer into your home. It might surprise you that the leaves of this stonecrop are edible and can be used to garnish dishes.

Caring for it is very easy and can be effortlessly managed even by beginners. During the summer, it needs regular watering, and the only things you need to watch out for are slugs and the possible appearance of rust on the leaves. However, the plant is highly frost-resistant and will survive the winter without problems down to minus twenty-eight degrees. From June to September, it forms tall, straight stems heavily laden with tiny flowers. These reliably act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with a rich pasture. An interesting fact is that these flowers are completely safe and even edible, so you can use them to liven up summer salads or desserts. In flowerbeds, the prairie mallow perfectly complements classic combinations with roses, but it also fits perfectly into wilder plantings in the company of ornamental grasses. It grows to a height of around one meter and does not need any support. If you like to decorate your home with fresh flowers, prairie mallow stems are great for cutting and look beautiful in summer bouquets. The 'Brilliant' cultivar stands out especially for its vibrant, richly colored flowers in shades of crimson, which you truly will not miss against the green background of the leaves.

The majestic larkspur Benary’s Pacific Black Knight will bring original beauty and a striking vertical structure to your garden. In the wild, the original species of larkspurs grow in lush meadows with nutritious soil. Therefore, in the garden, it will reliably appreciate full sun and sufficiently moist, humous loam. Although it is a perennial for somewhat more advanced growers, with the right approach, it will reward you richly and will survive even extreme winters with temperatures deep below the freezing point without worry. We will deliver a beautifully rooted seedling in a pot, ready for immediate planting in the flowerbed. Do not forget to give it enough space, ideally with spacings around sixty centimeters, and throughout the season, do not forget regular fertilizing. A more airy space will naturally protect the plant from powdery mildew. It works excellently in mixed borders with peonies and roses, providing them with a beautiful dark background. The Black Knight variety stands out with long stems growing up to one hundred and fifty centimeters, which are gradually adorned with deep dark purple flowers from June onwards. These literally attract bees from a wide surrounding area. When growing, keep in mind that it is poisonous and very tasty to slugs in early spring. The firm flower stalks are absolutely ideal for fresh bouquets, where they will stay fresh for about seven days. However, do not place the vase next to ripening fruit, to whose ethylene larkspur is sensitive and would wilt faster. If you want to preserve its beauty longer, try drying it. The dark flowers retain their pigment excellently and will enliven absolutely any dried arrangement.

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.

Fine tiny leaves and well-branched long stems with a large number of tiny star-shaped flowers make this Aster an ideal autumn cut flower.

A very hardy and long-lived perennial with an almost year-round effect. It creates upright clumps, and the flowers attract bees and butterflies. 'Stardust' has flowers that are, untraditionally for a stonecrop, white.

The 'White Swirl' wand loosestrife gives a much more elegant and airy impression in the garden than its better-known relative, the purple loosestrife. It is characterized by a slimmer growth habit and smooth, narrow leaves that beautifully turn into dark red tones in the autumn, thereby extending the visual effect of the plant until the end of the season. The 'White Swirl' cultivar is prized for its delicate, pure white flower spikes, which tower up to a height of one meter and bring lightness and light to the plantings. Although loosestrifes generally love water and we find them in moist meadows in nature, this species surprisingly deals well with slightly less moisture. You can therefore plant it without worry not only along the edges of ponds but also in common perennial beds with loamy or clayey soil. From July to September, it becomes a magnet for bees and other pollinators. Furthermore, the sturdy stems are suitable for cutting into summer bouquets.

This species of sage originates from the steppe regions of Central and Eastern Europe. It forms profusely flowering small clumps with straight, upright stems. In flower beds, it looks best in groups.
