Waldsteinia ternata
Barren strawberry
Barren strawberry is the perfect solution for places in the garden where neither lawn nor other sun-loving plants thrive. This tough perennial originates from the forest undergrowth of the temperate zone from Europe to Siberia, and therefore feels right at home in shade and partial shade. It is valued primarily for its glossy, dark green leaves resembling strawberry foliage, which remain on the plant over the winter, thus creating an attractive, dense carpet all year round. Thanks to its ability to spread quickly, it acts as a reliable groundcover plant that effectively suppresses weed growth and retains moisture in the soil.
During April and May, the dark greenery lights up with an abundance of tiny, golden-yellow flowers. Although barren strawberry is not intended for cutting into a vase or for drying, its ornamental value directly in the bed is irreplaceable. Additionally, the flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects. It is an extremely low-maintenance and long-lived plant that does not suffer from diseases or pests and handles frosts down to -34 °C. Just provide it with humus-rich, well-draining soil and occasional watering, and you will gain a maintenance-free decoration for shady corners, slopes, or undergrowth beneath trees.

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.

Geranium cantabrigiense
Cranesbill Cambridge
Cantabrigiense cranesbill Cambridge is an invaluable perennial that will reliably conjure up a dense and fragrant green carpet in the garden. It naturally originates from the crossing of mountain species coming from the Balkans and Southern Europe. Because of this, it is exceptionally tough and adaptable. It thrives best in full sun or partial shade, where it is perfectly happy with standard well-draining loamy soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that handles summer droughts and severe frosts wonderfully. From the received potted seedling, a compact cushion growing to a height of thirty centimeters will soon grow after transplanting. It will serve as a versatile groundcover perennial. From May to July, striking purple-pink flowers on upright stems emerge from the aromatic foliage. The garden will come alive thanks to them, as they reliably attract bees and butterflies. The flowers are also great for cutting into summer bouquets, where they beautifully complement other species. The Cambridge variety will also delight you with a beautiful autumn transformation. With the arrival of cold days, the green leaves change to impressive red tones. It does not suffer from pests or diseases, and caring for it is a joy even for beginners.

Sesleria caerulea
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.

Anemone hybrida
Japanese Anemone Andrea Atkinson
Anemone hupehensis 'Andrea Atkinson' will bring a touch of delicate beauty to your garden just as summer slowly transitions into autumn. Anemones belong to the same family as buttercups and, in their native habitat, grow on the edges of light forests. They will therefore be grateful for a spot in partial shade or gentle sun with humus-rich, loamy soil. You will receive a well-grown plant in a pot from us, which you can easily transplant directly into your flower bed. It will soon settle in as a reliable and long-lived perennial that is not bothered by pests or diseases. It can even withstand harsh frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. The 'Andrea Atkinson' cultivar grows to approximately one meter in height and forms sturdy stems that do not require support. Above the dark green leaves, pure white flowers bloom from August to October, acting as a magnet for pollinators. It stands out excellently against the darker background of shrub groups. The elegant flowers are suitable for cutting for vases, where they remain fresh for about seven days. While not suitable for drying, the dried stems provide a beautiful winter effect in the bed. Like other anemones, this plant is poisonous, which is good to keep in mind when caring for it.

Symphytum grandiflorum
Large-flowered comfrey
Symphytum grandiflorum will bring light even to the darkest corners of your garden. This perennial herb is characterized by creamy, tubular flowers that appear as early as April and gently contrast with dark green, hairy leaves. It is an ideal choice for planting under mature trees, where many other plants fail to thrive due to lack of light and root competition. Here, the comfrey will create a continuous, vigorous undergrowth reaching a height of 20 to 40 centimeters. Besides its aesthetic function, it also fulfills an important ecological role, as its early flowers provide valuable food for waking pollinators. The plant is fully frost-resistant and does not require any special care or support. Keep in mind, however, that this is a species that is poisonous and not intended for consumption, but it will make a great show in the flowerbed.

Gypsophila paniculata
Baby's Breath Snowflake
Baby's breath Snowflake is an absolute classic that should not be missing in any traditional or modern garden. This perennial plant originally comes from the sandy steppes and sunny slopes of southern Europe and Central Asia, which predestines it to love full sun and well-drained, even sandy soil. It has been grown in botanical gardens since the eighteenth century, and thanks to its low maintenance, it quickly found its way into private gardens as well. It forms rich, airy clumps that look like white clouds when in bloom and bring a unique lightness to flower beds.
The Snowflake variety stands out with a flood of pure white, mostly double flowers that appear from June to August. It is an ideal plant for modern steppe plantings, where it perfectly complements ornamental grasses and drought-tolerant perennials, but it is also traditionally planted as a delicate companion to roses. For florists, baby's breath is indispensable. It is excellent for cutting into fresh bouquets, where it adds volume and softens the overall impression, and it can just as well be dried for winter decorations. The plant is frost-hardy and long-lived, so it will bring you joy in the garden for many years.

Scabiosa columbaria
Scabiosa Pink Mist
Pincushion flower 'Pink Mist' brings lightness and delicate beauty to the garden. The original species grows on dry and sunny meadows or rocky slopes, so it will also appreciate full sun and well-drained loamy soil at your place. Compared to the Caucasian pincushion flowers, it is smaller, growing only to thirty to forty centimeters. However, it stands out with its endurance, as it blooms almost continuously from June to October, especially when you continuously remove the faded inflorescences. The light pink to lilac flowers are eagerly visited by bees and butterflies. In a flower bed, it looks great alongside shorter grasses and other sun-loving perennials. It is a short-lived plant, which, however, readily self-seeds in the right place. The flowers on sturdy stems are excellent for cutting into fresh summer bouquets, but they are not very suitable for drying. The petals are also edible, and you can use them to decorate desserts, for example. You will receive a strong seedling in a pot from us, which you simply need to transplant to a permanent location, where it will easily handle even stronger frosts.

Coreopsis verticillata
Coreopsis Zagreb
The bright yellow flowers of tickseed will reliably illuminate any sunny garden. In the wild, the native species grows in dry, sunny areas of North America, so it will most appreciate full sun and well-drained loamy soil here as well. It forms bushy, exceptionally fine clumps, topped with a profusion of tiny flowers from mid-summer onwards. Although it is a short-lived perennial, its lifespan can easily be extended by planting it in a drier location, where it handles severe frosts without issue. It is a completely low-maintenance plant avoided by pests and diseases, making it easy for beginners to care for. It looks brilliant at the front of mixed borders, where its fine foliage fills the gaps between bolder plants. The Zagreb variety is exceptional for its compact habit and the intense golden hue of its flowers, which are a major draw for bees and other pollinators. It blooms tirelessly until early autumn, providing an abundance of material for flower arranging. The flowering stems are excellent for cutting, lasting around seven days in a vase while adding an airy lightness to displays.

During the season, its green leaves will catch your eye, gradually acquiring a warm orange to wine-red hue as autumn approaches. It stands out primarily in group plantings or in combination with drought-tolerant perennials, where it can beautifully soften and visually connect the entire composition. The real magic, however, lies in its blooming. During August and September, it creates literal clouds of tiny pink flower panicles above the leaf clumps, hovering at a height of around fifty centimeters. For its airiness and elegance, lovegrass is also exceptionally popular for cutting. Florists love to use it in summer and autumn bouquets, to which it adds lightness and volume. It is also perfect for drying, so you can preserve its charm for winter arrangements as well.

Dicentra spectabilis Alba
Bleeding Heart Alba
The original home of bleeding hearts is Korea and China, where they grow in light deciduous forests. They are classic garden perennials. They will look perfect in nostalgically styled flower beds; the white variant fits well even into naturalistic woodland gardens. They are popular for their heart-shaped flowers hanging on horizontal or arching stems. These weaken and die back some time after flowering; all the plant's energy then concentrates in the roots, and at that moment, we can cut the above-ground part back completely. For the rest of the year, we won't even know the bleeding heart is in the garden. It will remind us of its charm again in the spring. Perfect vase life, at least 7 days. Harvest when the first 3–4 flowers open on the stem. Alba has beautiful pure white flowers; the shoots sprouting in spring are light lime green.

The inconspicuous yet charming rose campion 'Alba' will bring softness and lightness to your plantings. In the wild, it grows on sunny and rocky hillsides, which is why it will appreciate full sun and well-drained, rather poorer soil in your garden. It doesn't mind drought, withstands severe frosts, and is avoided by diseases and pests, making it an ideal choice for beginners. This short-lived perennial grows to a height of around seventy centimeters and has silver, softly felted stems and leaves. The 'Alba' variety is an elegant pure white variant that blooms for a very long time throughout the whole summer. A new flower opens every day to replace yesterday's, so the plant always looks full of life. Moreover, the flowers reliably attract pollinators. It applies excellently in natural and gravel beds, where it needs no support, and thanks to self-seeding, it will last in its spot for many years. The delicate stems with flowers are suitable for cutting and beautifully complement fresh bouquets in a vase, but they are not used for drying in dried arrangements.

Pulmonaria dacica
Lungwort Azurea
Azurea does honor to its name, bringing a heavenly blue color to spring days that gradually changes into purple tones. It is a lungwort cultivar that occurs naturally in moist mountain meadows and in bright forests. In the garden, it requires similar conditions, i.e., a partially shaded to shady location with well-draining, humus-rich, and constantly slightly moist soil. It grows to a height of around 20 to 30 centimeters and forms neat clumps that spread slightly over time. Its lanceolate leaves are purely green, lacking the mottling of common lungworts, which can be an advantage for calmer compositions in the undergrowth of woody plants. This long-lived perennial is an ideal choice for beginners because it does not suffer from diseases or pests and excellently handles even severe frosts. Although it is not suitable for cutting into a vase or for drying, it will do its job right in the garden bed, where it attracts beneficial insects. After the spring bloom, the plant partially dies back to create new foliage for the rest of the season. Because the summer foliage is not usually as dense, we recommend planting Azurea in small groups or mixing it with small spring bulbs and grasses, which will ensure a season-long effect.

The tiny spikelets in the shape of small hearts dance at the slightest breeze and add dynamics to the space. It belongs to the short-lived perennials, yet in a suitable location, it becomes a reliable part of the planting. In flower beds, it excellently complements prominently flowering species and softens the overall composition. It also has a firm place in floristry. It is suitable for cutting into summer bouquets, lending them lightness and airiness. It is also perfectly usable for drying into dry arrangements, where it maintains its shape long-term. It remains beautiful until late summer, after which it is good to trim the faded stalks. The 'Zitterzebra' cultivar is additionally exceptional for its coloration; its leaves are decorated with longitudinal green-and-white stripes that give it a fresh and modern look.

Phlox amplifolia
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
For the successful growing of Barren strawberry, choose a location in partial shade or full shade, where this woodland perennial feels most natural. Plant the seedlings in loose, humous soil that drains water well but at the same time can hold moisture. Before planting itself, it is advisable to improve the soil in the flowerbed by adding mature compost. If you plan to create a continuous green carpet that will replace a lawn in the future, follow a planting spacing of approximately 9 to 12 plants per square meter (a distance of about 30–40 cm apart). The plant is very tolerant and can handle even the undergrowth beneath trees, where there tends to be root competition.
After planting, regular watering is crucial until the plant is sufficiently rooted. However, once the barren strawberry establishes itself on the site and spreads, it forms a dense stand that naturally shades the soil, retains moisture in it, and effectively suppresses weed growth, thereby becoming almost maintenance-free. Fertilizing is not absolutely necessary, it is a modest plant, but a spring dose of organic fertilizer will encourage richer blooming and a deeper leaf color. A great bonus is that this plant does not suffer from any diseases or pests, so you do not have to worry about sprays or complex protection.
Barren strawberry is fully frost-hardy (down to -34 °C) and often retains its glossy leaves even during milder winters, thereby providing an aesthetic effect all year round. In the spring, it is enough just to lightly clean the stand of old and damaged leaves so the new growth has room. Pruning is not necessary; the plant spreads by underground runners but is not aggressive. If you would like to grow it in a container or window box, it is possible. Choose a sufficiently large container with drainage holes for it, place it in the shade, and ensure that the substrate never dries out completely, because soil in a pot dries out faster than in a flowerbed.
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.

Salvia nemorosa
Woodland Sage Caradonna
This species of sage originally comes from the steppe regions of Central and Eastern Europe. It forms profusely flowering small clumps with straight upright stems. In flower beds, it looks best in groups. Traditionally, due to the identical flowering time, it is planted as a companion to roses. However, it will look just as good in mixed drought-loving steppe plantings with grasses. It lasts 7 days in a vase. The cultivar Caradonna stands out with a long flowering period and dark, almost black-purple stems with tiny purple flowers and dark purple bracts. If we cut it back after flowering, it will bloom again in late August and September.

Perovskia atriplicifolia
Russian Sage
Russian sage reliably brings a touch of sunny steppes into the garden and places almost no demands on care. These sparsely branched subshrubs originally come from harsh, rocky areas from Afghanistan to Tibet, where they grow on open sun-drenched plains. Thanks to its origin, it delights in full sun and poor, well-drained sandy soil with minimal moisture. You will receive from us a well-rooted seedling in a pot, which just needs to be transplanted straight to the chosen spot in the flower bed. It does not need support, is avoided by common pests and diseases, and will survive frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. It grows up to one hundred and twenty centimeters and forms striking white felted shoots with silvery grey aromatic leaves. From July to October, it blooms with tiny blue-purple flowers that act as a lure for bees and butterflies and are even edible. Russian sage stands out next to drought-tolerant perennials. The flowers are suitable for cutting and drying for winter arrangements. Moreover, the silvery stems will ensure a beautiful winter effect in the flower bed.

Gaura lindheimeri
Gaura Siskiyou Pink
Gaura Siskiyou Pink is a charming perennial that brings lightness and airiness to the garden. Its original native area is in the warm regions of Texas and Louisiana, which is why it thrives in full sun and well-drained sandy soil. It grows in clumps and from June until the autumn frosts produces tiny raspberry-pink flowers that resemble fluttering butterflies. An interesting detail of this variety is the green leaves with a bronze tint and red spots. It is an absolutely undemanding plant, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and even beginners can handle its care. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply need to transplant directly into the flowerbed.

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.

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.
