Cornflower Amethyst Dream
Amethyst Dream brings an unusual shade of deep purple into spring and summer beds, which acts very elegantly. This mountain cornflower grows to a height of around half a meter and forms compact clumps of green leaves, from which conspicuous inflorescences grow from May to July. It is an ideal plant for beginner growers, because it does not require any special care and is fully frost-resistant even up to extreme temperatures. Common loamy and well-draining soil in the sun or in partial shade suits it. Unlike classic blue cornflowers, this cultivar is richer and more color-stable. You can cut the flowers into a vase without worries, where they will last fresh for about a week, or use them in the kitchen, because they are edible. In perennial compositions, it excellently functions as a connecting element between taller and shorter plants and its flowers reliably attract beneficial insects.

Aster amellus
Aster Rosa Erfüllung
The Italian aster 'Rosa Erfüllung' is exactly the perennial that will add fresh colors to your garden at a time when most summer flowers are already slowly fading. Its original homeland is the sunny and dry slopes or steppes of central and southern Europe, making it an extremely resilient plant. Therefore, in our gardens, it simply needs a spot in direct sun with well-drained, even poorer sandy soil. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted straight into the flower bed. Here it will root very quickly and form a vigorous clump. It is a long-lived plant that even complete beginners can handle, because it does not suffer from diseases or pests and easily survives frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees.
The 'Rosa Erfüllung' cultivar grows to a height of around half a meter and produces a flood of light pink flowers from August to October. These flowers not only brighten up autumn beds, but are also edible and reliably attract bees, bumblebees, and butterflies from the wide surroundings. The sturdy stems do not need any support and are excellent for cutting into a vase. In mixed bouquets, they bring a fine texture and stay fresh for about a week. Although it is not suitable for drying in winter arrangements, fresh bouquets from it bring joy to every interior. In the flower bed, it looks great in group plantings; we recommend planting roughly seven to nine plants per square meter. It fits perfectly into prairie and gravel beds, where it naturally complements lower ornamental grasses.

Already at the beginning of summer, it starts forming an unmissable flood of blue-purple flowers that bring joy until September. Skullcap does not require tying up, knows no diseases, and will reliably cozy up the edges of drought-tolerant flower beds or path borders. Try planting seven to nine plants per square meter, and in no time they will beautifully connect. For the entire season, the plant will act as a huge attraction for pollinators, so it will be beautifully alive in your flower bed.

Verbascum chaixii
Mullein Sixteen Candles
Mullein is a native European perennial that brings a piece of wild nature's magic to gardens. In the wild, you will most often find it growing on sunny, rocky hillsides and drier grassy spots, where it withstands a lack of water well. Thanks to this origin, it is a very undemanding plant, whose cultivation even a complete beginner can easily manage. In the garden, it will do best in full sun in well-drained and rather sandy soil, where it will not suffer from waterlogging. It produces striking, over a meter tall stems full of vibrant flowers, bringing necessary height and firm structure to mixed perennial beds. Even though it is classified among short-lived perennials, it grows reliably in a sunny spot and seamlessly handles frosts below minus twenty degrees.
During May and June, the thick stems are covered with a flood of bright yellow flowers. For bees, bumblebees, and plenty of other beneficial pollinators, mullein is a huge attraction and a rich source of food. If you enjoy making bouquets from your own garden, you will certainly appreciate that it is perfectly suited for cutting into summer vases, where it brings a bit of meadow relaxation. In addition, you can let the faded, sturdy stems dry and use them for winter decorations or other floral creations. The 'Sixteen Candles' cultivar stands out with a beautiful detail in the form of striking, purple-fuzzed stamens that decorate the center of each flower. These form an interesting contrast to the green to gray-green felted leaves. You will receive an already nicely grown seedling from us, which you can simply transplant into your bed and immediately watch how it thrives.

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.

Phlox paniculata

Phlox is originally a perennial native to North America. It soon achieved great popularity in European gardens and has been systematically bred since the 19th century. It is a classic perennial for cutting into bouquets, where, in addition to colorful flowers, it also delights with a gentle fragrance. We harvest as soon as roughly half the flowers in the inflorescence have bloomed; then they last up to 10 days in a vase. Despite efforts to breed the most resistant cultivars, it remains true that Phlox reacts extremely sensitively to climate and soil conditions, so we carefully pay attention to the correct choice of site. The Sweet Summer series includes cultivars bred for greater resistance to fungal diseases. Sweet Summer Ocean is a very special cultivar introduced to the market in 2012. It is characterized by the color variability of flowers during the day. In cool mornings, the flowers are blue; as temperatures rise, they fade, and by noon they transition to purple-pink.

Cultivation
Pěstování této horské chrpy je radost i pro úplné začátečníky, protože vyžaduje jen minimum pozornosti. Amethyst Dream miluje slunná stanoviště, ale bez problémů poroste i v polostínu, kde bude její tmavě fialová barva působit velmi sytě. Půda by měla být propustná a spíše hlinitá. Protože vám dorazí jako hotová sazenice, odpadá složité předpěstování. Stačí vykopat jamku o něco větší, než je kořenový bal, vložit rostlinu, přihrnout zeminou a důkladně zalít. Pokud plánujete plošnou výsadbu, sázejte rostliny ve vzdálenosti asi 40 cm od sebe, aby se později vzájemně netísnily.
Během sezóny si rostlina žádá běžnou zálivku, zejména v horkých letních dnech. Není však náročná na živiny a v příliš vyhnojené půdě by mohla ztrácet svůj pevný tvar. Klíčovým momentem údržby je odstranění odkvetlých stonků. Pokud chcete rostlinu udržet vitální a úhlednou, po hlavním kvetení v červenci ji sestřihněte. Zabráníte tím tvorbě semen, rostlina se nevysílí a naopak vytvoří svěží trs listů, který bude zdobit záhon až do podzimu. Bonusem je, že tento druh netrpí na škůdce ani choroby a je velmi lákavý pro včely a další opylovače.
Co se týče zimy, nemusíte mít žádné obavy. Tato trvalka je extrémně mrazuvzdorná (zóna 3a) a nevyžaduje zakrývání chvojím ani jinou ochranu. Pěstování v nádobách je možné a rostlina v nich vypadá velmi elegantně, avšak volte nádoby s dostatečným objemem a odtokovými otvory, aby nedocházelo k přemokření kořenů. V nádobě je nutné hlídat vlhkost substrátu pečlivěji než na záhoně. Květy můžete směle řezat do vázy, kde vydrží svěží zhruba týden, nebo je použít v kuchyni jako jedlou dekoraci pokrmů.
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.

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.

Gaura lindheimeri
Gaura Summer Breeze
The charming gaura comes from the sun-drenched plains of Texas and Louisiana and represents exactly the plant that can liven up any drought-tolerant planting. It is a naturally profusely blooming perennial that delights in full sun and well-drained, sandy, and nutrient-poor soil.

The flowers gently sway in the breeze and with their appearance resemble a flock of tiny butterflies, which also really like to land on the plant, as do bees and bumblebees. Although gaura is known as a short-lived perennial, thanks to its willing self-seeding, it will last for many years in your garden. Caring for it is completely undemanding, it is avoided by most diseases and pests, and it can handle frosts down to eighteen degrees below zero without any problems. It is often used in mixed borders, where it beautifully softens the overall impression, and perfectly matches various types of ornamental grasses. The Summer Breeze variety is popular for its strong and healthy growth as well as its exceptionally generous set of flowers, which grow to about one meter. If you like to create your own bouquets, do not hesitate to cut gaura for a vase. Harvesting is best done the moment the first small flowers on the stem begin to open.
