Viola odorata
Sweet Violet Königin Charlotte
An undemanding yet noble perennial that reliably fills empty spaces in partial shade and shade, that is the sweet violet. It naturally occurs in light forests from Europe to the Caucasus, making it perfectly adapted to our climatic conditions and fully frost-resistant. The plant forms low clumps of heart-shaped leaves and gradually spreads sideways via creeping runners, thereby effectively suppressing weeds. The Königin Charlotte cultivar is valued for its intense fragrance and dark blue-purple flowers on sturdy stems, which are also suitable for cutting into miniature spring bouquets. As one of the first blooming plants, it provides valuable food for bees and bumblebees waking up after winter. A huge advantage of this variety is repeated blooming, as it often blooms again in late summer after the main spring flush. The flowers are edible, and candied violets were formerly a popular delicacy at aristocratic courts.

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.

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.

Anemone hupehensis
Anemone Praecox
Anemones come from the same family as buttercups. With their elegant flowers on long, slender stems, they can brighten up and illuminate late summer and autumn flower beds. They stand out against a darker background of shrub groups and will also be grateful for their partial shade. The Czech Perennials Association chose autumn anemones as the perennial of the 2022 season. They last 7 days in a vase. Anemone Praecox is a compactly growing cultivar with a rich set of flowers. Due to its lower stature, it is perfectly suitable even for smaller gardens and for growing in containers. A big plus is the early flowering time, and the slightly darker coloring of the underside of the petals adds an interesting touch.

Coreopsis verticillata
Coreopsis Moonbeam
If you are looking for a delicate and long-blooming plant for full sun, whorled tickseed is a great choice. The basic species originates from North America, and here it thrives best in a sunny spot and well-drained, rather drier loamy soil. Although it is a short-lived perennial, with the right care and a well-chosen location, it can bring joy for several years. A distinctive feature of this species is its rich foliage of very tiny leaves, which form low, about forty-centimeter-tall bushes. After transplanting from the pot, the mature seedling is perfectly suited for the edges of flower beds or mixed drought-tolerant compositions, where it beautifully softens the overall look. In addition, the plant is fully frost-hardy, requires no special care, and is free from diseases. The 'Moonbeam' variety stands out with countless smaller, creamy-yellow flowers. These appear in mid-summer and continue to decorate the garden until early autumn, providing rich pasture for pollinators. You can easily cut the delicate stems with flowers to bring home. They will add an informal meadow touch to bouquets and will maintain their freshness in a vase for about seven days.

Viola labradorica
Violet Purpurea
Violet Purpurea is a tiny jewel that you will fall in love with mainly for its unconventional leaf coloring. This perennial plant, originating from North America, stands out with dark green to purple leaves, which often retain their color even during milder winters, creating an interesting effect in an otherwise empty flowerbed.

Its great advantage is its extraordinary hardiness and undemanding nature. It can handle sun, partial shade, and shade, provided it has humous and well-drained soil. Thanks to its frost resistance, which reaches extreme temperatures, it is absolutely reliable in our conditions. The violet self-seeds easily, so it will gradually create dense carpets in your garden. Although it is not suitable for cutting into a vase or for drying, it will make you happy in the kitchen. Both its flowers and leaves are edible and can serve as an original decoration for spring salads or desserts. Just beware of slugs, which unfortunately also find this violet very tasty.

Galium odoratum
Sweet woodruff
Sweet woodruff is a jewel of spring beech forests and an ideal choice for the shady corners of your garden. This low perennial naturally grows in moist and shady groves, where it forms continuous carpets of fresh green leaves. Thanks to its low maintenance and ability to spread quickly, it acts as a perfect groundcover plant that effectively suppresses weeds and retains moisture in the soil under the canopies of trees or shrubs.

In addition to its ornamental function, woodruff is valued for its unmistakable aroma. It contains coumarin, a substance reminiscent of the smell of freshly cut hay with notes of vanilla, which fully develops only when the plant wilts. It is therefore traditionally used to flavor spring drinks, such as May wine, or to season desserts. The plant is fully frost-resistant and cultivation is easy even for beginners; just provide it with humus-rich, loose soil and plenty of moisture.

Anemone hybrida
Japanese Anemone Serenade
Japanese anemone 'Serenade' brings a breath of fresh air to the autumn garden at a time when other flowers lose their beauty.

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.

Tall Moor Grass Karl Foerster
Karl Foerster tall moor grass is an architectural gem among ornamental grasses, which has gained popularity due to its elegant and airy growth. The original species naturally occurs in wet meadows and light forests across Europe, so in the garden, it prefers moister, humus-rich soils in full sun or partial shade.

These can grow up to 180 cm in height, with the Karl Foerster cultivar standing out for its sturdy, upright growth that won't break even in the wind. During autumn, the entire plant turns into beautiful golden-yellow shades that literally glow on gloomy days. Thanks to its height and transparency, it makes a perfect specimen plant or a great addition to the back of perennial borders, adding dynamic movement without shading other plants. The sturdy stalks are also excellent material for florists, whether for fresh bouquets or dried arrangements, and if left in the border over winter, they provide a beautiful winter silhouette, especially when frosted.

Pulmonaria officinalis
Common lungwort
Pulmonaria officinalis, better known as common lungwort, is a rewarding perennial that has held its place in gardens for centuries, not only for its beauty but also for its historical use in medicine. The Latin name refers to its spotted leaves, which reminded medieval herbalists of human lungs. Today, we appreciate it primarily as a reliable plant for shady and semi-shady areas where other species do not thrive well. It blooms in March and April with a flood of tiny flowers, and you can often observe pink, purple, and blue flowers simultaneously on a single plant. This play of colors beautifully contrasts with the fresh green leaves. Lungwort loves humus-rich, loamy soil with plenty of moisture, but once established, it is very hardy. It is perfectly suited for natural and woodland gardens as an underplanting for deciduous trees. Although it is not very suitable for cutting into a vase, it will do a tremendous service in the flowerbed by attracting the first hungry pollinators early in the spring. The plant spreads easily and can also self-seed, gradually filling empty spaces in the beds.

Quaking grass Limouzi
Quaking grass 'Limouzi' is an undemanding and very charming native grass that naturally grows in sunny meadows and pastures with poorer and well-drained soil. From May onwards, long thin stalks sprout from its dense green clumps, carrying delicate spikelets in the shape of small hearts swaying on them.

This short-lived perennial, growing to a height of around half a meter, is perfectly suited to complement colorful steppe plantings, where it creates a soft filler between more prominently flowering species. It will also find its use among beginner growers, as it does not suffer from diseases or pests and handles strong frosts without problems. The airy inflorescences of quaking grass are perfect for cutting into summer bouquets and for drying for various floristry purposes. After blooming, roughly at the end of summer, it is good to trim the clumps, which will encourage their fresh appearance. The 'Limouzi' cultivar is characterized by its abundant flower set and slightly more compact growth, which maintains its shape even in more demanding conditions.

Cultivation
For the successful growing of this noble perennial, choosing the right location is crucial; it should imitate its natural environment in light forests. Sweet violet requires partial shade to full shade, ideally under the canopies of deciduous trees or taller shrubs, which will provide it with protection from the harsh midday sun. The soil should be humous, loamy, and well-draining so that excess water does not collect at the roots, but at the same time it should not dry out quickly. Before planting the seedlings, we recommend improving the soil by working in mature compost or leaf mold, which will ensure enough nutrients for a start and promote a loose substrate.
We plant the seedlings so that the crown of the plant (the point where the roots transition into the above-ground part) is at ground level. Given that the sweet violet likes to spread using creeping runners and forms dense carpets, maintain the recommended spacing of 25–30 cm, which corresponds to approximately 9 to 12 plants per square meter. After planting, water the plants thoroughly and keep the soil slightly moist in the first weeks until the seedlings are fully rooted. Since you receive an already grown plant, the worry about complex germination is eliminated, and the violet adapts faster to the new conditions of your garden.
During vegetation, care for the 'Königin Charlotte' variety is relatively easy. The plant has medium moisture requirements, so it primarily requires watering during periods of longer drought and on hot summer days. Sufficient moisture is critical especially for repeated blooming at the end of summer, for which this variety is famous. In the spring, you can fertilize the clumps with an organic fertilizer or compost. Although the plant is very resilient and does not suffer from common diseases, it is a great attraction for slugs and snails, which like to feast on its leaves. Therefore, we recommend regular inspection of the stand, or the use of ecological barriers or pellets against these pests.
In terms of frost hardiness, this violet is completely reliable, tolerating temperatures down to -28 °C and requiring no special winter protection. If you decide on container growing, choose a pot with drainage holes and place it in a shady spot, for example on a north-facing windowsill. In containers, it is necessary to monitor watering much more carefully because the substrate dries out faster. Even in a pot, the plant overwinters without problems; just wrap the container with insulating material or sink it into the ground so the root ball does not freeze through the walls of the pot.
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.

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.

Viola labradorica
Violet Purpurea
Violet Purpurea is a tiny jewel that you will fall in love with mainly for its unconventional leaf coloring. This perennial plant, originating from North America, stands out with dark green to purple leaves, which often retain their color even during milder winters, creating an interesting effect in an otherwise empty flowerbed. In April and May, it is additionally adorned by a flood of tiny blue-purple flowers that contrast beautifully with the dark foliage. It is an ideal groundcover perennial that reliably spreads and can fill empty spaces under trees or shrubs where other plants would not thrive. Its great advantage is its extraordinary hardiness and undemanding nature. It can handle sun, partial shade, and shade, provided it has humous and well-drained soil. Thanks to its frost resistance, which reaches extreme temperatures, it is absolutely reliable in our conditions. The violet self-seeds easily, so it will gradually create dense carpets in your garden. Although it is not suitable for cutting into a vase or for drying, it will make you happy in the kitchen. Both its flowers and leaves are edible and can serve as an original decoration for spring salads or desserts. Just beware of slugs, which unfortunately also find this violet very tasty.

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.
