Brunnera macrophylla
Brunnera Variegata
Brunnera 'Variegata' is a long-lived perennial that will reliably light up even the darkest corners of your garden with its striking leaves. The original species comes from the mountain forests and meadows of the Caucasus, where it seeks out moister and shady places, making it an ideal companion for the undergrowth beneath trees and shrubs. Its large heart-shaped leaves have a fresh green color with a prominent creamy white edging, so the plant looks decorative throughout the season, not just when in bloom. Early in the spring, usually in April and May, tiny and delicate blue flowers that resemble classic forget-me-nots hover above the carpet of leaves. Thanks to the fact that it sprouts early and dies back late in autumn, it works perfectly as a groundcover plant that gives weeds no chance. The inflorescences are also suitable for cutting into spring vases, where with plenty of water they will last to bring joy for several days.

Bleeding Heart
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. The basic species has pink-white flowers. In spring, the sprouting shoots have a pink tinge.

This perennial is vital for the rare dusky large blue butterfly, which it will reliably attract to your garden as well. In naturally styled plantings, combined with ornamental grasses, it creates an airy and light effect while requiring no support. Furthermore, the inflorescences are excellent material for florists, adding an unusual texture and color accent to bouquets. They last fresh in a vase for seven to ten days.

Phlomis russeliana
Phlomis Russeliana
Phlomis, sometimes nicknamed Jerusalem sage, is a valuable perennial bringing a Mediterranean atmosphere to the garden. Originally from the Greek islands and Turkey, this plant is accustomed to harsher conditions, thanks to which it perfectly handles our hot summers and poorer, well-drained soils. Its gray-green, felt-like leaves form a dense cover that works as a reliable barrier against weeds, and it surprisingly tolerates shade under tree canopies well, provided it is not too moist there. In summer, it will thrill you with pastel yellow flowers arranged in regular whorls above each other, which look very exotic and attract plenty of bees and bumblebees.
For florists, phlomis is a literal treasure. The fresh flowers look very elegant in a vase, but dried stems with mature seed pods will put on an even greater show. These hold their shape for a long time and are one of the best materials for dried arrangements. Moreover, you can leave them standing in the flowerbed until spring, because their striking silhouette looks breathtaking when covered in frost. It is a rewarding and long-lived plant that even a complete beginner can easily handle.

Paeonia
Peony Coral Charm
Peonies are valuable in gardens for their large and impressive flowers. They are long-lived perennials for patient gardeners. It takes them several years to grow to full beauty and for you to see abundant flowering. Therefore, a blooming peony in the very first year after planting is more of an exception, certainly not the rule. Besides time, it needs the right conditions to flower. Check out our growing guide. Herbaceous garden peonies are one of the longest-bred garden plants, and most cultivars originate from Chinese and medicinal peonies, which have long been part of monastery gardens. Today, we combine them with perennials, grasses, and bulbs. However, we always give them plenty of space in the flowerbed. The Coral Charm peony has dark coral-colored buds. They open into large semi-double flowers. Their color gradually transitions from bright pink, salmon, and peach to cream. Potted peonies can be planted from spring to autumn.

Delphinium hybrida
Larkspur Benary’s Pacific Astolat
Larkspur Benary’s Pacific Astolat is an unmissable dominant feature among border perennials and brings classic elegance to the garden. Its original species originate from temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, where they grow in moister mountain meadows. Therefore, even in our gardens, it will appreciate a location in full sun and deep, nutrient-rich loamy and humous soil with plenty of moisture. You will receive from us an already mature seedling in a pot, which you just need to transplant to the chosen spot. Here it will quickly form a massive clump with deeply lobed green leaves. The Astolat cultivar stands out with firm stems up to a meter and a half tall, which from June carry rich inflorescences of large pink flowers with a contrasting center. During summer, these flowers reliably attract bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators. After the first blooming, we recommend cutting the plant back, which will encourage another wave of blooming at the end of summer in August and September. Growing larkspurs requires a bit more attention, so it is better suited for more advanced growers. For them to stand out well and reach their full height, they need to be given enough space; the optimal spacing is around sixty centimeters. Do not forget regular fertilizing and copious watering, because in dry soil they can suffer and be more susceptible to powdery mildew. In spring, it is also important to protect the sprouting shoots from slugs and snails. However, the care invested will pay off richly. We often see them in the company of roses and peonies, with which they form a perfect romantic composition. The entire plant is poisonous, which is good to consider when choosing a planting site. On the other hand, it will please you with its tremendous frost resistance; it can easily handle temperatures dropping down to minus thirty-four degrees. We can fully enjoy their beauty not only in flowerbeds but also in fresh bouquets. For cutting into a vase, choose stems at the time when the bottom flowers are opening. They will last approximately seven days in water, just be careful not to place the vase near ripening fruit. They are sensitive to ethylene, which causes rapid shedding of petals. You can also try drying them for floristic purposes. If you hang the inflorescences in a dark and airy place, the flowers will perfectly retain their rich pink color and serve as an interesting element for winter decorations.

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.

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.

Cultivation
Choosing the ideal location and soil preparation
Siberian bugloss 'Variegata' is a treasure for shaded corners of the garden, where other plants would suffer from a lack of light. Given its variegated (white-green) leaves, choosing the right spot is absolutely crucial. These decorative leaves are indeed more sensitive to sun scorch than those of purely green varieties. Therefore, select a location in partial shade to shade, ideally in the undergrowth beneath taller trees or shrubs that will provide dappled shade. The soil should be cool, loamy to clayey, and rich in humus. This perennial loves moisture but cannot tolerate permanent waterlogging, so it is advisable for the soil to be well-draining but capable of retaining water. Before planting, we recommend working mature compost into the soil, which will improve the soil structure and provide nutrients for the start.
Planting and subsequent care
Since you will receive an already grown seedling, you can plant practically throughout the entire growing season, as long as the soil is not frozen. The recommended planting spacing is 40 cm (approximately 5–7 plants per m²), which will give the plants enough space but at the same time allow them to eventually merge into a closed canopy that will give weeds no chance. After planting, water the plant thoroughly. Moisture is essential for the bugloss – the moisture 💧💧 designation in the attributes suggests that during periods of summer heat and drought, it will be grateful for regular watering. If the plant is suffering from drought, you can tell by the drooping and browning edges of the leaves.
Pruning, maintenance, and container growing
One of the tricks for maintaining the beautiful appearance of this perennial is a cut back after blooming. As soon as the tiny blue flowers fade at the turn of May and June, cut the entire plant low above the ground. The bugloss will thus gain new strength and sprout fresh, healthy, and gorgeously colored leaves that will decorate the flowerbed until autumn. As for growing in containers, it is possible, but it requires more attention. The pot must be large enough and placed in the shade. The substrate in the container must never dry out completely, which can be challenging to monitor in the summer. For the winter, it is then necessary to wrap the container with insulation or sink it into the ground so the root ball does not freeze, even though the plant is fully frost-resistant in the open ground.
Resilience and protection against pests
Siberian bugloss is a very resilient and long-lived perennial that does not suffer from common diseases. Its frost resistance is excellent; it handles temperatures down to -40 °C (zone 3a), so it will survive even the harshest winters in the garden without the need for special protection. The only enemy that can bother it are slugs and snails. Unfortunately, they love the juicy leaves of the bugloss. If they appear in your garden, it is advisable to proactively use ecological baits or physical barriers so you don't lose the beautiful variegated leaves right at the beginning of the season.

Brunnera macrophylla
Brunnera macrophylla
The largeleaf brunnera comes from the moist mountain forests of the Caucasus, where it forms dense undergrowth. It is an ideal perennial for shady and semi-shady corners of your garden, where it will thrive in humus-rich, moist soil. It resembles classic forget-me-nots in appearance, but don't be fooled, its leaves are much larger, heart-shaped, and rough to the touch. Thanks to them, it acts as a great groundcover plant that sprouts early in the spring and reliably covers bare soil with its leaves until late autumn. It thus forms a natural contrasting background for the delicate, tiny flowers.
Tiny sky-blue flowers appear in April, May, and June, creating a beautiful delicate veil over the green carpet of leaves. The flower clusters are also suitable for cutting into spring hand-tied bouquets, where they look very tender. Just watch out for snails and slugs, who like to feast on the juicy leaves of the brunnera, so it's a good idea to check the plants regularly. It is a long-lived and hardy perennial that handles severe frosts without problems and will bring you joy in one place for many years.

Brunnera sibirica
Siberian Bugloss
Siberian bugloss is a hardy perennial that is unfazed even by the shady corners of the garden where other plants fail to thrive. It earned its name thanks to its tiny blue flowers, which are very similar to classic forget-me-nots and bloom in April and May. Unlike its more famous relative, the largeleaf bugloss, this species spreads a bit more vigorously and forms dense stands. Thanks to its underground rhizomes, it works as a great groundcover plant that reliably suppresses weeds under trees or shrubs. Once the plant finishes blooming, all its energy moves into the large, deep green heart-shaped leaves, which quickly grow to their final size. It is an ideal choice for beginners because it handles heavier clay soils excellently and tolerates short-term drought. Furthermore, the flowers are suitable for cutting into spring tied bouquets, where they look very tender and add lightness to the arrangement.

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. Today, however, you will appreciate it mainly for its low maintenance and unique appearance. 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. Floristically, it is extremely valuable, because its flowers are perfectly suited for cutting as well as drying for winter decorations. If you decide not to harvest it, feel free to leave it in the flowerbed all winter. Its silhouette covered in hoarfrost creates a wonderful winter effect. Although it is a short-lived perennial, in a suitable location it reliably self-seeds, so you will enjoy its beauty for many years.
