Pulmonaria hybrida

Lungwort Blue Ensign

Shade-loving perennials do not have to be just green and inconspicuous, which lungwort 'Blue Ensign' proves with its unmissable flowers. In nature, these plants inhabit moist groves and floodplain forests, making them a perfect choice for underplanting mature trees or for the northern sides of houses, where other perennials do not do too well. They require humus-rich, loamy soil that does not completely dry out, and in return, they reward you with great vitality. The seedlings are fully frost-resistant down to -30 °C, so they will easily survive even harsh winters and reliably sprout back beautifully in the spring. The 'Blue Ensign' cultivar stands out among others with probably the darkest and purest shade of blue, which, unlike other lungworts, does not change to pink after opening. Its leaves are solid dark green without spotting, giving the plant an elegant look even after blooming. Although it is not suitable for cutting into a vase or for drying, it will make a great show in the bed combined with spring bulbs or hellebores. Furthermore, it is a plant well-known in folk medicine, and its young leaves are edible. Show full description

Brunnera macrophylla, Loukykvět

Brunnera macrophylla

The largeleaf brunnera comes from the moist mountain forests of the Caucasus, where it forms dense undergrowth. It is an ideal perennial for shady and semi-shady corners of your garden, where it will thrive in humus-rich, moist soil. It resembles classic forget-me-nots in appearance, but don't be fooled, its leaves are much larger, heart-shaped, and rough to the touch. Thanks to them, it acts as a great groundcover plant that sprouts early in the spring and reliably covers bare soil with its leaves until late autumn. It thus forms a natural contrasting background for the delicate, tiny flowers. Tiny sky-blue flowers appear in April, May, and June, creating a beautiful delicate veil over the green carpet of leaves. The flower clusters are also suitable for cutting into spring hand-tied bouquets, where they look very tender. Just watch out for snails and slugs, who like to feast on the juicy leaves of the brunnera, so it's a good idea to check the plants regularly. It is a long-lived and hardy perennial that handles severe frosts without problems and will bring you joy in one place for many years.

Avens Totally Tangerine, Loukykvět

Geum chiloense

Avens Totally Tangerine will brighten any garden with its cup-shaped flowers in warm shades that resemble the color of ripe tangerines. The original botanical species of this cute avens originate from the mountainous regions of Chile, which is why it thrives best even in our conditions in well-drained, humus-rich, and loamy soil. It handles frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees without problems, and even complete beginners can easily handle caring for it, as it does not suffer from diseases or pests. You will get an already grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant straight into the flowerbed in sun or partial shade. It is ideal to plant the plants about half a meter apart. Here it will soon form a dense clump of green leaves, from which sturdy stems up to ninety centimeters tall emerge, and they do not need any support. Although it is a short-lived perennial, it will make up for everything with its incredible persistence in blooming. Unlike other avens, the Totally Tangerine variety starts its blooming season a little later, but in return, it will delight you without a break from May to September. The semi-double flowers also gradually transition into a deep salmon to dark peach color and are a literal magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In a flowerbed, it functions excellently as a filler plant, nicely connecting other perennials with its neutral structure. You will also enjoy the blooming avens at home. It is excellently suited for cutting into summer bouquets. We recommend cutting the stems when a quarter to half of the flowers on the branch are already open. They will then last about a week in a vase and gently liven up any arrangement. Although it is not suitable for drying, it will do a lot of work in the flowerbed even through winter, when its foliage and remains of stems create an interesting winter effect under frost or snow.

Shoofly plant Blue, Loukykvět

Catananche caerulea

Catananche caerulea, commonly known as Cupid's dart, is a charming plant that will win you over with its lightness and airiness. Its scientific name refers to ancient Greek legends, according to which it was used in love potions; today, however, you will appreciate it more for its undemanding nature and unique appearance. It is excellently suited for natural-style gardens, gravel beds, and drought-tolerant plantings, where it beautifully complements other perennials or ornamental grasses. It grows up to ninety centimeters tall and, despite its height, needs no support. The flowers have a lavender-blue color with a darker center and toothed petals at the ends. They bloom gradually from June to September. Cupid's dart loves drought and heat, but on the contrary, it cannot stand winter dampness, which harms it more than frost. If you provide it with a well-drained spot, it will survive temperatures down to -18 °C. It is a rewarding plant for beginner growers and experienced florists alike. Fresh flowers last a week in a vase, but they will bring you the most joy when dried. Harvest them fully open in dry weather and hang them upside down. They will keep their shape and remind you of summer all winter long.

Anemone September Charm, Loukykvět

Anemone

Autumn anemones are an indispensable part of perennial beds because they take over the flowering baton at a time when most summer species are already fading and the garden begins to take on autumn tones. The original botanical species grow in the moister soils of China and Japan, which predestines their growing requirements in our conditions. They require well-drained but non-drying soil rich in nutrients, ideally in partial shade under trees. 'September Charm' is a reliable variety that will delight you with large pink flowers with a prominent yellow center. The flowers on tall branching stems look very romantic and attract the last pollinators, especially bees. They are excellently suited for cutting into autumn bouquets, where they will stay in good condition for about a week. The plant is hardy and long-lived, but remember that as a representative of the buttercup family, it is poisonous.

Calamint Blue Cloud, Loukykvět

Calamintha nepeta

Lesser calamint Blue Cloud is an undemanding and modest perennial that reliably perfumes any sunny garden. Its original homeland is the sunny and dry slopes of Southern Europe, which is why it thrives best here in direct sun in well-drained, sandy, or poorer loamy soil. It handles winter without problems, tolerating frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flowerbed, where it will very soon form a compact, airy small shrub reaching a height of up to forty centimeters. It does not suffer from any diseases or pests, so even complete beginners can easily handle caring for it. Throughout late summer and into autumn, it blooms with a record number of tiny blue flowers that are so typical of the Blue Cloud variety. The whole plant emits a pleasant minty-spicy scent, and its flowers, which resemble thyme, act as a literal magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. It will look great among roses or in naturally designed steppe flowerbeds, where it naturally complements lower ornamental grasses. Additionally, both the blue flowers and green leaves are edible, so you can use them to garnish summer dishes. Lesser calamint is also excellently suited for cutting into smaller fresh bouquets, adding a fine structure to them in a vase.

Phlox Sweet Summer Ocean, Loukykvět

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.

Cupid's Dart Alba, Loukykvět

Catananche caerulea

Silvery bracts and pure white flowers make Cupid's dart 'Alba' an unmissable beauty for drought-tolerant beds. Although its botanical name carries the epithet 'blue', this cultivar will delight you with its radiant whiteness, which stands out beautifully above clumps of grayish-green leaves. It is a plant native to the Mediterranean, so for happy growth, it requires plenty of sun and, most importantly, well-drained, sandy soil. In our conditions, it behaves as a short-lived perennial, but in a suitable spot, it gladly self-seeds and renews itself. A great advantage of Cupid's dart is its versatility for florists. Its strong stems make it predestined for cutting into summer bouquets, lasting about a week, and thanks to the interesting texture of its flowers and buds, it is also excellent for dried arrangements and winter decorations.

Hyssop Roseus, Loukykvět

Hyssopus officinalis

The Roseus hyssop is an aromatic subshrub whose structure and requirements strongly resemble the popular lavender. It originally comes from the sunny and dry regions of the Mediterranean and Asia Minor, so it thrives best in direct sun here as well. It favors well-drained, sandy, and even nutrient-poor soil, where it easily copes with a lack of moisture. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant straight into the flower bed, where it will very soon form a neat, richly branched bush reaching a height of around fifty centimeters. It is an absolutely undemanding plant that is not bothered by diseases or pests, so its cultivation can be easily handled even by complete beginners. It comfortably withstands severe frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees Celsius. In the garden, hyssop finds wide application. It fits perfectly into steppe-character gravel beds and beautifully complements roses or lower ornamental grasses. During the summer until early autumn, the Roseus variety will delight you with a flood of tiny flowers in a delicate light pink shade. These flowers, as well as the narrow green leaves, emit a pleasant spicy fragrance and reliably act as a huge lure for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Since all parts of the plant are edible, you can also use hyssop in the kitchen as a herb to flavor dishes or prepare a medicinal tea from it. You can also cut the long flowering stems for a vase, where they will add a fine texture and lightness to summer bouquets. Although the flowers are not suitable for drying for floral purposes, the plant will please you in the flower bed even out of season. The inflorescences form an interesting structure which, after the leaves fall and are covered by morning frost, creates a beautiful winter effect. Furthermore, if you provide hyssop with ideal conditions, it will reliably self-seed in its location and remain a solid part of your garden for many years.

Rudbeckia Henry Eilers, Loukykvět

Rudbeckia subtomentosa

Rudbeckia Henry Eilers is an extraordinary perennial that will bring the magic of late summer and the wild North American prairies into the garden. As a native species, it grows wild on sunny plains, so even here it thrives best in full sun in loamy, clayey, and well-drained soil.

In the garden, this rudbeckia is perfectly suited for prairie plantings alongside ornamental grasses or in country gardens, where its flowers attract bees and butterflies. Florists love using it for cutting. We cut the stems for a vase as soon as the flowers open, and they will bring you joy for seven to ten days. The faded dark cones look great in dry arrangements, and if you leave them in the flower bed, they will create a beautiful spectacle during the winter, especially when covered in frost.

Early in the spring, usually in April and May, tiny and delicate blue flowers that resemble classic forget-me-nots hover above the carpet of leaves. Thanks to the fact that it sprouts early and dies back late in autumn, it works perfectly as a groundcover plant that gives weeds no chance. The inflorescences are also suitable for cutting into spring vases, where with plenty of water they will last to bring joy for several days.

Catmint Six Hills Giant, Loukykvět

Nepeta faassenii

Catmints are ideal companions for roses, suitable for naturalistic gardens, and lower species also for boxes and pots. Some of them are an irresistible attraction for cats, caused by the hallucinogen nepetalactone. This should be present in the highest amount in the species Nepeta cataria. Conversely, lemon-scented catmints reportedly do not attract cats. The botanical name Nepeta likely comes from the name of the ancient Etruscan city Nepet - Nepi in the territory of today's Italian province of Viterbo, where the plant was once cultivated. The faassenii group is characterized by vigorous upright growth, fine foliage, and long stems suitable for cutting. Six Hills Giant has a slightly lighter flower color than Walker's Low.

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.

Cultivation

Pro úspěšné pěstování plicníku 'Blue Ensign' vyberte chladnější místo na zahradě, kam nedopadají přímé sluneční paprsky, zejména ne v poledne. Ideální je severní strana domu nebo stinný kout u plotu či pod stromy. Půda by měla být výživná, hlinitá a bohatá na humus. Pokud máte na zahradě těžkou jílovitou půdu, odlehčete ji přimícháním kompostu; naopak příliš písčitou půdu obohatťe organickou hmotou, aby lépe držela vodu. Sazenice sázejte do připravených jamek tak, aby krček rostliny nebyl utopený hluboko pod zemí, a po výsadbě důkladně zalijte.

Jelikož má tento plicník rád stabilní vlhkost, zálivka je nejdůležitější částí péče. Rostlina vám svěšenými listy sama ukáže, že má žízeň, ale snažte se tomuto stavu předcházet. Přestože je 'Blue Ensign' velmi vitální, nesnáší sucho. Hnojení není nezbytně nutné, pokud je půda dobře připravena, ale jarní dávka kompostu nebo hnojiva pro trvalky podpoří bohaté kvetení sytě modrými květy. Vzhledem k tomu, že se rostlina může přesévat, doporučujeme po odkvětu ostříhat květenství, pokud si nepřejete, aby se samovolně šířila po okolí.

Z hlediska údržby se jedná o dlouhověkou trvalku, která na jednom místě vydrží mnoho let. Staré a nevzhledné listy ostříhejte brzy z jara, ještě předtím, než začnou rašit nové květy. Díky mrazuvzdornosti až do zóny 4 (cca -34 °C) není třeba rostlinu na zimu zakrývat chvojím, zimu přečká bez úhony. Obrovskou výhodou je absence chorob a škůdců, což z plicníku dělá bezstarostnou rostlinu pro ekologické zahrady, kde navíc poslouží jako potrava pro včely a čmeláky.

Pěstování v květináči je u tohoto druhu možné, ale volte raději keramické nebo plastové nádoby, které drží vlhkost lépe než terakota. Dno nádoby musí mít odtokové otvory, aby kořeny nestály ve vodě, ale substrát udržujte stále vlhký. Rostlina v nádobě je náchylnější na promrznutí kořenového balu, proto ji na zimu buď zapusťte i s květináčem do záhonu, nebo nádobu obalte izolací a postavte na chráněné místo.

Lungwort Azurea, Loukykvět

Pulmonaria dacica

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.

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.

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. Moreover, it is a magnet for pollinators, and its young leaves are even edible, so it also finds use in a natural kitchen.

Sea Holly, Loukykvět
For drying

Eryngium planum

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.
