Amsonia hubrichtii
Amsonia hubrichtii
Are you looking for a reliable and uncommon perennial that will enliven your garden with blue flowers and surprise you with vibrant colors in autumn? Amsonia hubrichtii is exactly that choice. It originates from the eastern regions of North America, where it naturally grows on sunny and slightly moist grassy plains. You will purchase a mature seedling in a pot directly from us, so you can immediately transplant it into the garden upon delivery. The ideal spacing between individual plants is about forty centimeters. Caring for it is extremely easy, so even beginners can handle planting it without any worries. It does not suffer from pests or diseases and reliably overwinters in our conditions as a long-lived perennial, because it handles frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees without problems. It will thrive particularly in humous and loamy soil in direct sunlight with good watering.
The hubrichtii species is completely exceptional among perennials for its fine texture. It has very narrow, almost needle-like green leaves, thanks to which the plant, growing to fifty to seventy centimeters, looks incredibly airy. In June and July, it produces a flood of tiny flowers in a heavenly light blue tone. But the real show comes in autumn, when the entire plant turns into an unmissable mustard-yellow color. In the flowerbed, it thus creates a beautiful contrast to late-blooming species. It will also find its place in summer vases. Given that the stems exude a milky sap after cutting, you just need to briefly sear the cut over a flame, immediately place it in water, and it will stay fresh for approximately ten days.

Succisa pratensis
Devil's-bit scabious
Devil's-bit scabious is a beautiful and delicate perennial, whose name is accompanied by a very strange legend. According to it, the devil, in anger over the protective power of this herb, bit off its rhizome. In the wild, it grows most often in damp meadows and pastures, but in the garden, it will thrive perfectly in a sunny spot with well-draining soil. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you can simply transplant straight into the chosen flowerbed. It is an ideal plant for beginners, reliably withstanding frosts and not suffering from any pests or diseases. It grows to a height of thirty to eighty centimeters and from July to September forms magical spherical flowers of a blue-purple color. These act as a literal magnet for bees, hoverflies, and rare butterfly species, providing them with a rich pasture. In the garden, the devil's-bit scabious stands out perfectly in naturalistic plantings, where you will appreciate it alongside loose ornamental grasses. The sturdy stems with flowers can also be successfully used for cutting into summer bouquets, where they create a soft and playful structure, or you can dry them for winter decorations.

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.

Petroselinum hortense
Garden Parsley
Garden parsley is not just an ordinary herb for soup, but a surprisingly versatile and hardy perennial that deserves a place in every garden. Its home is the sunny Mediterranean region, so it will thrive in your garden in full sun in loamy, humus-rich soil with regular watering. From our offer, you will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot that just needs to be tipped out and planted in your chosen spot. It can grow in a classic garden bed or in a spacious planter on the terrace. A great advantage is its frost resistance down to minus twenty-three degrees and complete resistance to common diseases and pests. Even beginner gardeners need not worry about growing it.
The aromatic green parsley leaves contain high amounts of vitamins A and C and have an absolutely indispensable place in the kitchen. In the bed, however, it also works great as a companion plant. You can plant it with a spacing of forty centimeters among roses, whose fragrance it is said to naturally support, or combine it with other vegetables; it does particularly well alongside radishes. In the first half of summer, during June and July, the plant creates discreet but charming umbels of tiny white flowers. These grow to a height of about thirty to fifty centimeters and have a very natural appearance in the garden. The flowering stems can easily be cut for a vase, where they act as excellent filler greenery that reliably lasts about a week. After flowering, the firm stems can also be used for drying in various floral arrangements.

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.

Delphinium elatum
Delphinium Highlander Cha Cha
Larkspurs are a classic and at the same time a dominant feature among garden perennials. We often see them in the company of roses and peonies. To stand out well, they need to be given enough space and fertilization should not be forgotten. We can enjoy their beauty in beds, bouquets, and even try drying them; the flowers retain their rich color well. They last 7 days in a vase; they are sensitive to ethylene released from ripening fruit. The Highlander series comes from new Scottish breeding. It expands the color range and brings novel shapes. The flowers are incredibly full and the individual petals are waved, which intensifies the impression of fullness even more. It does not form seeds and should therefore be all the more vigorous. Highlander Cha Cha has light pink-purple flowers.

Checkerbloom Brilliant
The 'Brilliant' prairie mallow is a charming short-lived perennial that resembles miniature hollyhocks with its flowers and brings a romantic touch to the summer garden. Its homeland is the sunny plains and meadows of North America, so it will also grow best in full sun in your garden. We send customers mature potted seedlings, which simply need to be transplanted into well-drained, loamy, and sufficiently humous soil. 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.

Blue Moor Grass
Blue moor grass is an elegant and undemanding native grass that livens up the spring garden at a time when other plants are just waking up. In the wild, it naturally grows in warmer areas on rocks and sunny slopes with well-drained soil. It forms dense, neat clumps growing to a height of about thirty centimeters. Its main advantage is its striking grayish-green and dark green leaves, which, with sufficient moisture, remain evergreen all year round. During April and May, the moor grass blooms with interesting brown spikelets. Over time, these flowers naturally fade into soft beige tones, and when dried, they are perfectly suited as a delicate addition to small dry arrangements. In flowerbeds, it represents an ideal companion for spring bulbs, with which it forms very harmonious compositions. Cultivation can easily be managed even by a beginner, as the plant does not suffer from any diseases or pests and can withstand frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees without damage. Simply transplant the supplied mature seedling to a sunny or partially shaded location, ideally maintaining a planting distance of around forty centimeters.

Cultivation
Growing Amsonia is exceptionally easy, making this plant a perfect choice even for complete beginners. Since we will send it to you as an already well-rooted seedling, you will avoid the complicated process of growing from seeds and can proceed straight to planting it in the flowerbed. The ideal location is a hot sunny spot or light partial shade. Choose rather humus-rich and loamy soil with a good ability to retain water. Plant the plants with a sufficient spacing of 50 to 60 centimeters. This generous spacing will not only ensure enough room for abundant growth to a height of 60 to 90 centimeters, but also excellent air circulation, which is always great prevention for the overall health of the plant. Customers often ask us if it is possible to grow Amsonia in a pot. The answer is yes, however, for successful container growing, you will need a sufficiently large and deep volume, a nutritious substrate, and regular attention to watering.
Amsonias are among the long-lived perennials that appreciate a flowerbed with sufficiently moist soil, especially in the first year after planting. Although it takes some time to settle in the garden and become fully rooted, it will delight you all the more later with its immense vitality. Once well rooted, it will survive even summer drought periods without major difficulties. It does not require significant care or regular fertilizing; in the spring, the addition of well-rotted compost to the base of the plant is perfectly sufficient. At the turn of May and June, it blooms with beautiful light blue flowers that act as a magnet for bees and other beneficial pollinators. During any maintenance or cutting for vases, do not forget that the plant belongs to the poisonous species. A sticky liquid oozes from wounds after injury, so caution is in order, especially if small children or pets move around the garden.
The best part of growing this airy and unconventional beauty comes in the autumn. The leaves, which resemble fine needles, turn a brilliant yellow color and enliven the slumbering garden. For this reason as well, Amsonia is not pruned in the autumn. Leave the faded and drying stems in the flowerbed all winter long; perform a cutback of the dried parts right down to the ground only in early spring. This will support its vitality for the new season. One of the biggest benefits is the fact that the plant is completely disease-free and is avoided by all garden pests as well. Overwintering is completely trouble-free for this perennial. In the ground, it withstands temperatures dropping to an incredible -28 °C, so no covering with evergreen boughs or winter protection in the beds is necessary at all.
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.

Its original home is in the eastern regions of the United States, where it naturally grows in moister grassy habitats. Thanks to this, it is extremely adaptable and in our gardens it will appreciate humous and loamy soil, whether in full sun or partial shade. In a sunny spot, expect its delicate flowers to fade slightly faster. You will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant directly to the selected spot in the flowerbed, ideally at a spacing of about fifty to sixty centimeters. It doesn't need support, easily withstands frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees, and common diseases and pests avoid it, so even complete beginners can handle growing it. At the turn of May and June, it forms tufts of fresh green leaves that resemble a willow. It grows up to eighty centimeters tall and is soon adorned with star-shaped flowers in sky and light blue shades. These flowers not only look beautiful, but reliably attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators from the wide surroundings. Gardeners love it for its variability. Early in the spring, it captivates with dark emerging shoots, and in the autumn its leaves turn beautiful mustard yellow tones, bringing a warm autumn atmosphere to the garden. It fits perfectly into mixed perennial beds, where it will complement ornamental grasses well. Since the entire plant is poisonous, it is good to handle it carefully. If you like creating your own bouquets, you will also love amsonia for floral use, although it is not suitable for drying. Its blue flowers will add softness and elegance to any vase. When cut, however, the stems exude a white milky sap. To make it last as long as possible in a vase, it is necessary to sear the ends of the stems with a flame after cutting and only then immediately place them in water. Thanks to this little trick, you can enjoy the fresh flowers for up to ten days.
