Carex muskingumensis
Palm Sedge
Carex muskingumensis is a reliable perennial that brings a fresh green color and interesting texture to the garden. Its native home is the humid floodplain forests and banks of watercourses in North America. That is precisely why it handles best in the garden in places with plenty of moisture. It thrives excellently in humic, loamy to clayey soil, both in full sun and partial shade.
In the flower bed, it catches the eye primarily with its specific growth, where light green leaves are arranged on the stems in a shape resembling small palms. It grows to a height of sixty to eighty centimeters and produces inconspicuous but elegant chestnut-brown flowers from June to August. It stands out ideally in group plantings near ponds, in rain gardens, or as a groundcover.

Carex remota
Remote Sedge
Are you looking for reliable greenery for problematic shady places where other flowers do not thrive? Carex disperma will surprise you with its hardiness and natural appearance. Its native home is humid groves and forest wetlands. In the garden, it therefore most appreciates shade or partial shade and a large dose of moisture in loamy and clayey soil.
It forms lower, approximately thirty-centimeter-tall clumps of lush leaves, which perfectly fill empty spaces under trees or along shady paths at a spacing of thirty to forty centimeters. In early summer, inconspicuous yellowish and greenish flowers appear. You won't create floral arrangements from them as this sedge is not suitable for cutting, but it provides a wonderful visual base for other perennials in the flower bed. In the winter months, it also retains an interesting structure, providing the much-desired winter effect.
It is completely free of diseases and pests and self-seeds naturally in the location. This creates a lush green carpet that will transform your garden into a piece of a quiet forest.

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.

Chasmanthium latifolium
Northern Sea Oats
Chasmanthium is one of the most charming ornamental grasses, bringing movement and a gentle rustling sound to the garden. It originates from the eastern part of North America, where it naturally grows in light, damp forests or on the banks of streams, so it is best suited to partial shade and humous, non-drying soil. Its greatest adornments are the flat spikelets resembling small fish, which hang from arched, drooping stems and change color throughout the season from fresh green through beige to warm copper tones, while the leaves turn golden-yellow in autumn. Chasmanthium is an excellent choice for cutting into fresh bouquets, where it adds airiness, and it looks even better dried, retaining its shape and color for a long time. Furthermore, it is a fully frost-hardy perennial that easily handles winters and will please any grower with its low-maintenance nature.

Viola odorata
Sweet violet Royal Wedding
Sweet violet Royal Wedding is a messenger of spring that will perfume the shady corners of your garden with an unmistakable sweet scent. This tiny but hardy perennial naturally grows in the deciduous forests and groves of Europe, where it forms dense carpets in the spring. In the garden, it will thrive best in partial shade or shade, ideally under the canopies of trees or shrubs, where it has plenty of moisture and humus-rich, well-draining soil. Thanks to its low maintenance and extreme frost resistance, it is a great choice even for beginner growers who want to liven up darker corners of their property and create a natural ground cover.
The Royal Wedding cultivar enchants with pure white flowers that contrast beautifully with the deep green, heart-shaped leaves. The plant spreads by runners and over time creates a continuous, fresh green cover. The flowers are edible and can serve as an elegant decoration for desserts, salads, or can be candied. Even though they are tiny, they are suitable for cutting into miniature vases, where their fragrance stands out best. The violet is also a valuable early food source for bees and other pollinators waking up after winter.

Narcissus
Narcissus Palmares
Most daffodils have a bright orange or deep yellow center, but lately, more muted pastel colors have become increasingly popular. The Palmares daffodil is exactly the hit you've been looking for if you want something a little different. We explore every powdery, salmon, and apricot-colored daffodil we can get our hands on, and this cultivar absolutely charmed us. Although it is a simple daffodil, its center is made up of beautifully ruffled petals in a soft peach shade. Thanks to this detail, the entire flower has an unexpectedly rich appearance, softened by pure white outer petals. From the large bulbs you receive from us and plant directly into the soil, strong flowers will emerge in the spring. During April and May, these thirty to forty-centimeter-tall beauties will brighten up any sunny or semi-shaded spot in your garden. Palmares is a long-lived perennial and stands out in group plantings. In addition to its ornamental function outdoors, it is perfect for creating cut bouquets, to which it brings an elegant spring mood.

Speedwell First Love
The long-lived Speedwell 'First Love' perennial will breathe fresh life into your flowerbeds thanks to a flood of tiny flowers in an unconventional bubblegum-pink color. In the wild, you would find its relatives in light and slightly moist meadows, so it will do best in your garden in sun or partial shade in common loamy soil full of nutrients.

From the beginning of summer until the end of August, striking pink inflorescences tower over the foliage, acting as a reliable magnet for pollinators. It looks best in the garden alongside other perennials; it is ideal to keep a spacing of about forty centimeters. Be sure to cut the sturdy stems for a vase as well, where they will make a wonderful display as a fresh bouquet, but this species is not suitable for florists looking for dried flowers.

Eupatorium maculatum
Joe Pye Weed Atropurpureum
Eupatorium 'Atropurpureum' is a stout and long-lived perennial that will bring a bold vertical element and plenty of life to your garden. In its native range on the damp meadows of North America, it forms dense stands, which is why even in the garden it will appreciate a sunny to semi-shady spot with nutritious, humous, and sufficiently moist soil, whether it is loamy or clayey. You will receive a beautifully grown potted seedling from us, which you just need to transplant to your chosen spot. Here, it will quickly form a massive clump of sturdy, dark red-purple stems that grow up to two meters tall and do not need support. During the summer, from July to September, huge flat inflorescences up to twenty-five centimeters in diameter open at their tops. These light purple to pink flowers emit a pleasant fragrance and act as a literal magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It is a completely undemanding plant avoided by pests and diseases, and it easily survives even very severe frosts well below minus thirty degrees. Eupatorium works excellently as a striking solitary plant in the back of a flowerbed or near water features. If you like to decorate your home, you can also use its sturdy stems for cutting into summer bouquets. In the autumn, it pays off not to remove the faded inflorescences, because when covered with frost in the winter months, they create a magnificent spectacle in the flowerbed.

Fragaria vesca
Wild Strawberry
Wild strawberry brings to the garden the charm of forest clearings and sunny glades, where it naturally occurs across all of Europe and northern Asia. This tiny but hardy herb is valued primarily for its incredibly aromatic fruits, which, although they cannot compete with cultivated garden strawberries in size, easily surpass them in their intense flavor and aroma. The plant forms low cushions of deep green trifoliate leaves, and from April to June it is adorned with tiny, pure white flowers that are an irresistible attraction for bees and other pollinators. Thanks to its low maintenance and frost resistance down to -35 °C, it is an ideal choice even for beginner growers.
In the garden, wild strawberry perfectly fulfills the function of a groundcover perennial that spreads quickly via long above-ground runners and can effectively suppress weeds. It does best in sun or partial shade, where it has access to humous and slightly moist soil, exactly what it would find in the undergrowth of light deciduous forests. It is suitable for natural corners of the garden, under shrubs or as an edging for flowerbeds, where you can pick a sweet reward at any time. Although you won't use it much for cutting into a vase or for drying, its value lies in its living beauty and edible fruits, which ripen gradually and offer the purest taste of nature right at your home.

Delphinium hybrida
Larkspur Benary’s Pacific Black Knight
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.

Thinking about how to liven up your autumn and winter flower beds? Carex testacea is an ornamental grass that will thrill you with its shifting shades and minimal care requirements. In nature, it inhabits the diverse landscape of New Zealand, where it has adapted to both sunny locations and semi-shaded corners. It will welcome similar conditions in your garden.

Peony Jan van Leeuwen
Peony Jan van Leeuwen captivates with pure white, single flowers, whose center is adorned with bright yellow stamens. This cultivar stands out above all for the length and abundance of its blooming, making it perfectly suited for more naturalistic plantings as well as classic perennial beds.
Herbaceous garden peonies are long-lived perennials, but they require patience from the gardener. They take several years to grow into their full beauty, and blooming in the very first year after planting is more of an exception than the rule. For successful growth, they need the right conditions besides time, so we recommend studying our growing instructions.
Most cultivars have their origins in Chinese and common peonies, which were a traditional part of monastery gardens. Today, we like to combine them with perennials, ornamental grasses, and bulbs, but we must always give them enough space. Potted seedlings can be planted continuously from spring to autumn.

Phlox White Clouds
Phlox White Clouds lives up to its name and looks like fluffy white clouds in the garden. It is a native North American species, Phlox amplifolia, which differs from better-known phloxes by its wider leaves and, above all, greater hardiness. It naturalized in European gardens as early as the 19th century and has enjoyed great popularity ever since. It is an ideal perennial for beginners because it tolerates drier soil well and does not suffer as much from fungal diseases. In the garden, it grows to a height of about one meter, making it a perfect fit for the background of perennial beds, where it forms a striking focal point in summer. Its fragrant flowers are literally a magnet for bees and other beneficial insects. Phloxes are also a traditional part of country bouquets. For the longest vase life, which is around 10 days, we recommend cutting the stems when approximately half of the flowers are in bloom. We ideally plant the seedlings in loamy, humus-rich soil in full sun or partial shade.

Cultivation
The Muskingum sedge is a low-maintenance and reliable perennial that you will receive from us as a healthy, well-rooted seedling ready for planting. To help it thrive, choosing the right location is key. It grows best in full sun or partial shade. It loves moisture, making it an ideal choice for pond edges, rain gardens, or areas where water naturally collects. The soil should ideally be loamy, humous to clayey, and capable of retaining moisture well. For proper planting, follow these basic parameters:
- Plant at a distance of 35 to 45 centimeters.
- Place 5 to 7 seedlings per square meter. This spacing ensures that the plants will form a dense and attractive cover once established.
After planting, the most important care is thorough watering. This sedge is a plant with high water requirements, so ensure that the substrate around it never dries out completely. During hot summer months, it will require regular and generous watering. As for nutrition, adding high-quality compost to the base of the plant in the spring is beneficial; complex fertilizing is not necessary. The great news for every gardener is that this perennial is completely resistant to common pests and diseases, so you avoid the need to use any chemical sprays, and the plant will remain vital without much effort.
During the season, from June to August, it will please you with inconspicuous but elegant chestnut-brown flowers that grow 60 to 80 centimeters tall and can even be used as cut flowers for a vase. With the arrival of winter, the above-ground part of the plant dries out. Because the Muskingum sedge does not have a significant winter effect, we recommend cutting the dead clumps just above the ground in early spring, before new leaves sprout. This will support the healthy and vital growth of new, deep green leaves arranged in the shape of small palms. The plant is extremely frost-resistant down to -34 °C, so it does not need any special winter protection in the flowerbed.
You often ask if it is possible to grow this sedge in containers or window boxes on a terrace. The answer is yes, but it has its specifics. When growing in a pot, you must be particularly diligent with watering. Choose a container without drainage holes or place a deep saucer underneath it that will constantly hold water. This will prevent rapid drying, which could quickly weaken the plant on summer days. It will also overwinter in a container without problems; just ensure that the substrate is not completely bone-dry during frost without snow cover. It looks great both as a solitaire and in combination with other moisture-loving species.
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.
