Sweet violet Royal Wedding, Loukykvět

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. Show full description

Creeping wire vine, Loukykvět

Acaena microphylla

Brass buttons is an inconspicuous but very reliable ground cover perennial that comes from the harsher mountainous and rocky areas of New Zealand. Thanks to its origin, it is used to both sun and partial shade and thrives very well in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil with regular watering. You will receive an already grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted to the selected spot in the garden. There it will very quickly form a dense carpet reaching a height of only five to ten centimeters. It is decorated with tiny, toothed leaves that transition from green to attractive bronze shades. During summer, from June to August, unconventional white-green spherical flowers appear. Although brass buttons is not at all suitable for cutting into a vase or for drying in dry arrangements, its main strength lies in its practical garden use. It will serve excellently as undergrowth beneath taller shrubs, in rockeries, or for edging flower beds. Even absolute beginners can handle caring for it, because it does not suffer from diseases or pests and easily survives frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. Moreover, it retains its charm even in the cold months and will ensure an interesting winter effect on every flower bed.

Sweet Violet Königin Charlotte, Loukykvět
New

Viola odorata

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.

Rock rose The Bride, Loukykvět

Helianthemum hybrida

Rock rose The Bride is an ideal choice for sun-drenched and dry spots in your garden where other plants would struggle. This evergreen subshrub is characterized by its creeping growth and tiny, silvery-gray leaves that retain their attractiveness even in winter, providing a year-round effect. In nature, rock roses inhabit rocky slopes and dry meadows, which is why even in the garden they require well-drained, poorer, and rather sandy soil in full sun. They handle summer droughts without problems and are rewarding residents of rockeries, dry stone walls, or the edges of perennial beds, where they form dense carpets. From May to July, the plant literally cloaks itself in a flood of pure white flowers with a yellow center, attracting numerous bees and other pollinators. The Bride cultivar stands out precisely for the elegant contrast of snow-white flowers and silvery foliage. Although the flowers are not suitable for cutting into a vase, they put on a great show in their habitat and brighten up every corner. To maintain its compact, cushion-like shape and abundant flowering in subsequent years, we recommend trimming the plant after it finishes blooming, which will boost its vitality.

Sunrose Bronzeteppich, Loukykvět

Helianthemum hybrida

Rock rose Bronzeteppich is the unassuming hero of rockeries and dry walls, which literally lights up in full sun. The original botanical species of these subshrubs can be found on sunny and rocky hillsides, where they can cope even with very poor and well-drained soil. Exactly thanks to this origin, the rock rose is exceptionally resistant to drought and loves the sun's rays, which awaken a flood of its tiny flowers. In the garden, it functions as a great ground cover element that decorates flower beds with its evergreen leaves even in the winter months when most perennials rest underground. The Bronzeteppich variety, as the name suggests, creates dense carpets dotted with numerous flowers in a warm shade of terracotta and orange. It blooms gradually from May to July, becoming an irresistible attraction for bees and other pollinators, who find a rich source of food in its flowers. It grows only to a height of about twenty centimeters, so it is perfectly suited for the edges of flower beds or rockeries, where it fills the empty spaces between stones. Although it is not suitable for cutting into a vase or drying, its value in a living garden is irreplaceable. Care for it is minimal; just provide it with well-drained sandy soil and plenty of sun, and it will take care of the rest itself.

Wild Strawberry, Loukykvět
New

Fragaria vesca

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.

Common lungwort, Loukykvět
New

Pulmonaria officinalis

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.

Bugbane Pink Spike, Loukykvět
New

Actaea simplex

Bugbane 'Pink Spike' is a long-lived perennial that will bring elegance and a delicate fragrance to the shady corners of the garden. It originally comes from the moist forests of East Asia, so it thrives best in partial shade or shade here. For its satisfaction, it needs humous and well-drained soil that retains enough moisture. Especially in summer, it will appreciate regular watering. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted straight into the flower bed. There it will soon form a massive clump reaching a height of up to one hundred and eighty centimeters. Despite this height, it has sturdy stems and does not need any support. The 'Pink Spike' cultivar stands out primarily for its deeply lobed leaves, which play with dark shades of burgundy, purple, and bronze. While most of the garden slowly loses its breath at the end of summer, bugbane is just showing its best from August to October. Towering above the dark leaves are long inflorescences composed of tiny white and light pink flowers. These brush-like inflorescences also smell pleasant and act as a reliable magnet for bees and other pollinators. It is a completely undemanding plant that easily handles even bitter frosts dropping to minus thirty-four degrees. Common diseases naturally avoid it and it does not suffer from pests. However, the entire plant is poisonous, which must be kept in mind when choosing a location. After blooming, bugbane does not wilt out of sight but retains its interesting structure. If you leave the dried stems on the flower bed, they will provide a beautiful spectacle even during the winter months under a layer of snow. In garden composition, bugbane acts as a dominant feature of shady parts. It is mostly planted at one to three plants per square meter, roughly sixty to eighty centimeters apart. The long and straight inflorescences can be very well used for cutting into fresh bouquets. Conversely, it is not suitable for drying into permanent decorations because the flowers lose their shape. As a long-lived perennial, 'Pink Spike' will settle permanently in the right place and bring you joy for many years without spreading by self-seeding to the surroundings.

As a typical understory plant of deciduous forests, it requires a partially shady to full shade location to grow happily. It will thrive best under the canopies of mature trees or near shrubs, where the soil is naturally moister and protected from harsh midday scorch. Plant the seedlings in humous, well-draining, and loamy soil that can retain moisture but is not waterlogged. Before planting, we recommend working mature compost or leaf mold into the ground, which will give the plants necessary nutrients for a start. Because it is a groundcover perennial that eventually spreads using above-ground runners, maintain a spacing of approximately 25 to 30 cm when planting. If you want to quickly achieve the effect of a continuous blooming carpet, expect to plant roughly 9 to 12 plants per square meter.

Caring for this perennial is very easy and can be handled even by a complete beginner. Above all, regular watering is essential in the period after planting, until the seedling is fully rooted. Even in maturity, the sweet violet likes slightly moist soil, so during periods of longer drought, do not forget to supply water, especially if it grows under trees that might take moisture away from it. A great advantage of the 'Royal Wedding' cultivar is its excellent health status; the plant does not suffer from common diseases or pests, so you don't have to worry about needing chemical sprays. Thanks to its extreme frost hardiness down to -34 °C, it requires no special winter protection and reliably overwinters in our conditions. Early in the spring, you can remove old or damaged leaves to make room for new, fresh green growth and pure white flowers.

Many customers ask about the possibility of growing it in containers. You can safely plant the 'Royal Wedding' sweet violet in pots or window boxes as well. It is a great solution for shady, north-facing balconies or terraces. When growing in a container, however, you must ensure that the substrate never dries out completely, because in a confined space the roots have nowhere to reach for water. The bottom of the container should have drainage holes so the roots do not rot. In containers, not only the beauty of the flowers stands out, but you will also be closer to their captivating fragrance. Furthermore, the flowers are edible, so you can harvest them straight from the window box to decorate spring desserts.

Sweet Violet Königin Charlotte, Loukykvět
New

Viola odorata

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.

Violet Purpurea, Loukykvět
New

Viola labradorica

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.

Lady's mantle Irish Silk, Loukykvět

Alchemilla mollis

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.

Sea Holly, Loukykvět
For drying

Eryngium planum

Sea holly is an indispensable perennial for all lovers of naturally styled gardens.

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.
