Japanese forest grass is a true jewel for shady and semi-shady corners of gardens, bringing an unrepeatable lightness. This elegant ornamental grass originates from the moist rocky cliffs of Japan, where it naturally forms cascading stands. Thanks to its origin, it loves well-draining, humus-rich soil that does not dry out, and appreciates protection from the harsh midday sun. In the garden, it works great as undergrowth beneath trees and shrubs or as an edging element along paths, where its stems wave beautifully in even the gentlest breeze. The Beni-kaze cultivar, whose name poetically translates to red wind, does justice to its name and is sought after for its color variability. While the plant is fresh green and resembles a small bamboo in the spring and summer, with the arrival of cooler autumn days, its leaves begin to turn into deep tones of red, burgundy, and bronze. This color show continues into winter, when the plant dries out, but thanks to its sturdy stems, it keeps its attractive shape even under a dusting of snow. It is a long-lived perennial that does not suffer from diseases or pests, and is an ideal choice for beginners. You just need to cut it low to the ground in the spring and it will sprout back into beauty. Show full description

Japanese forest grass Greenhills, Loukykvět
New

Hakonechloa macra

Japanese forest grass Greenhills is one of the most elegant ornamental grasses you can plant in the shady corners of your garden. It originates from the moist rocky slopes of the Japanese island of Honshu, which predestines its growing requirements. It loves humus-rich, well-draining soil that does not dry out, and it thrives best in partial shade or shade, where its leaves won't be burned by the sharp midday sun. In gardens, it is valued for its cascading growth that resembles flowing water, thus bringing much-desired movement and lightness to static plantings under trees. The Greenhills cultivar stands out with a fresh, bright green leaf color that literally lights up the darker areas under tree canopies. Unlike variegated varieties, it looks very natural and calm, creating a perfect background for other perennials. This long-lived grass does not spread by aggressive runners and keeps its compact clumping shape. Although it is not used much for cutting, it fulfills its ornamental function until late autumn, when the leaves turn warm beige and golden tones. We leave the dry clumps in the bed throughout the whole winter, when they are decorated with frost, and cut them back only in the spring.

Japanese forest grass Albostriata, Loukykvět
New

Hakonechloa macra

Japanese forest grass Albostriata is a true gem for the shady corners of your garden. This elegant ornamental grass comes from the moist mountain slopes of Japan, where it grows in the undergrowth of light forests and on rocky cliffs. Thanks to its cascading growth, it resembles flowing water and brings unparalleled movement and lightness to the flowerbeds whenever the wind blows. The Albostriata cultivar is prized primarily for its striking leaves, which are decorated with longitudinal white stripes on a fresh green background. This color combination can perfectly brighten up even the darkest spots under trees or taller shrubs. Although it is not suitable for cutting into vases, it fulfills its ornamental function in the garden all year round. In autumn, the leaves turn into warm golden and beige shades, creating a beautiful winter effect that stands out even under a dusting of snow. Japanese forest grass is a long-lived perennial that grows more slowly at first, but over the years forms dense and impressive clumps. It requires humus-rich, well-drained soil with plenty of moisture, but does not tolerate winter waterlogging.

Autumn Moor Grass, Loukykvět

Sesleria autumnalis

Autumn moor grass is an exceptionally hardy ornamental grass that introduces fresh greenery to the garden right from early spring. Native to the rocky slopes of the Balkans, it is well-adapted to free-draining soils, making it an ideal choice for novice gardeners. It forms neat clumps growing thirty to fifty centimeters tall. Its greatest asset is its bright green foliage, which emerges early and remains in pristine condition in the borders well into winter. The plant is untouched by diseases or pests and handles severe frosts superbly. In August and September, delicate creamy-beige flowers appear above the foliage. These rather subtle spikelets give the plant an elegant, refined look. In the garden, it acts as a perfect filler perennial for sunny or partially shaded spots. It looks absolutely stunning paired with calamint, airy gaura, or flowering oregano. Its delicate flowers and leaves are easily used as foliage filler in fresh bouquets, or they can be dried for small-scale floristry projects.

Hellebore Double Ellen Red, Loukykvět

Helleborus orientalis

Hellebores are evergreen perennials that form slowly spreading clumps of leathery, dark green leaves. The stems usually carry four to five flowers. They bloom very early, as early as late winter and early spring. They can be used in a vase only after conspicuous seed pods form in the center of the flower and the flower matures. Picked earlier, they tend to wilt and the stems cannot hold the flower upright. All parts of the plant are poisonous. Double Ellen Red is a double-flowered hellebore with rounded petals of a dark burgundy red color with a lighter undertone on the lower row of petals.

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.

Jacob's Ladder Filigree Clouds, Loukykvět

Polemonium caeruleum f. dissectum

The Filigree Clouds Jacob's ladder is a charming perennial that our ancestors have been growing in gardens since the 16th century. Its leaves are arranged so regularly on the stem that it earned the common name Jacob's ladder. This specific cultivar is distinguished by its finely cut leaves, which, combined with pure white flowers, look incredibly light and fluffy in the flower bed. The plant requires humus-rich and well-drained soil that should remain slightly moist, as it doesn't do well in drought. It thrives best in partial shade, but it can handle sun if it has plenty of moisture. It blooms from May to July and reliably attracts bees and other pollinators. If you want to use it in bouquets, harvest the stems when roughly a third of the little flowers are open. It will then bring you joy in a vase for seven to ten days. It is a frost-hardy and undemanding plant suitable even for novice gardeners.

Lovage, Loukykvět

Levisticum officinale

The strongly aromatic lovage represents a classic from our grandmothers' gardens, and even a complete beginner can handle growing it. Its natural home is the moister edges of meadows in the Middle East, so here it does best in loamy soil rich in humus, in full sun or light partial shade. You will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant straight into a bed, where it very quickly forms a massive clump. This robust plant does not require special care, doesn't suffer from pests, and withstands deep frosts without any problems. Due to its vigorous growth, it is best planted as a solitary specimen; otherwise, it might suppress more delicate neighboring plants. If you only have a balcony available, plant it in a spacious container with a volume of at least fifteen liters. During the summer, lovage blooms abundantly with tiny yellow flowers that are a great attraction for bees and bumblebees. Its tasty, fragrant green leaves will enliven many dishes, while the sturdy stems with flowers perfectly complement rustic vases, where they last for about a week, and after drying, they will scent any floral arrangement.

Purple Moor Grass Heidezwerg, Loukykvět

Molinia caerulea

Heidezwerg purple moor grass is a highly adaptable grass that naturally grows in wet pastures, fens, and moorlands. Thanks to its origins, it loves slightly acidic and moister soils, but it can also handle a sunny spot provided it has enough moisture. It is planted in gardens primarily for its exceptional autumn display, when the clumps of leaves turn into vibrant golden to orange tones that literally shine on dull days. The Heidezwerg cultivar grows to a compact height and is cultivated for its dark purple to purplish inflorescences on upright stalks. These appear from August to October, bringing an interesting vertical structure to the flower beds. The plant looks beautiful in winter too, when adorned with frost, which is why it should not be cut back until spring. The inflorescences are excellent for cutting for a vase or drying for arrangements, where they last a very long time.

Northern Sea Oats, Loukykvět

Chasmanthium latifolium

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.

Tall Moor Grass Karl Foerster, Loukykvět

Molinia arundinacea

Karl Foerster tall moor grass is an architectural gem among ornamental grasses, which has gained popularity due to its elegant and airy growth.

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.

Lovegrass, Loukykvět

Eragrostis spectabilis

Lovegrass originates from the sun-drenched plains of North America, where it naturally grows on dry and well-drained soils. This undemanding tufted grass is an ideal choice for beginner growers, as it does not suffer from any diseases or pests and easily handles frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees.

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.

Cultivation

Tato elegantní trvalka vnese do vaší zahrady klid a harmonii, pokud jí dopřejete podmínky, které miluje. Rákosovka japonská 'Beni-kaze' je rostlinou stinných a polostinných zákoutí, kde její listy rozzáří tmavší kouty zahrady. Přímé slunce snese pouze za předpokladu, že má neustále vlhkou půdu, jinak se její listy kroutí a hnědnou. Pro výsadbu připravte propustnou půdu obohacenou humusem, která je kyprá a nevysychavá. Sazenici zasaďte tak hluboko, jak rostla v původním kontejneru, a půdu kolem ní jemně přitlačte. Pokud sázíte více kusů, dodržujte rozestupy alespoň 30 cm, aby proudění vzduchu kolem listů bylo dostatečné, ačkoliv je tato rostlina přirozeně velmi zdravá a netrpí chorobami. Ideální je mulčování organickým materiálem, který napodobuje přirozené lesní prostředí a postupným rozkladem dodává živiny.

Jedním z hlavních lákadel kultivaru 'Beni-kaze' je jeho barevná proměnlivost, která vynikne zejména na konci sezóny. Aby se listy na podzim vybarvily do sytých odstínů červené, vínové a bronzové, rostlina potřebuje stabilní vláhu. Zálivka by měla být pravidelná, ale ne přemokřující – půda by měla být stále mírně vlhká. Díky pomalému a kompaktnímu růstu se rákosovka nerozrůstá agresivně a drží si svůj úhledný tvar, což z ní činí bezúdržbový prvek záhonů. Hnojení není nezbytně nutné, pokud je půda kvalitní, ale pro podporu vitality můžete na jaře použít hnojivo s postupným uvolňováním živin.

Péče o rákosovku v zimním a jarním období je velmi prostá. Jedná se o dlouhověkou trvalku, která výborně zvládá i silné mrazy. Suché listy, které na rostlině zůstávají přes zimu, tvoří přirozenou ochranu a zároveň plní okrasnou funkci, kdy se ve větru jemně vlní a šustí. Nikdy je nestříhejte na podzim, do otevřených stébel by mohla zatéct voda a způsobit hnilobu. Jarní údržba spočívá v odstranění všech suchých částí nůžkami těsně nad zemí dříve, než začnou rašit nové výhonky. To zajistí, že nový trs bude hustý, čistý a vitální.

Pokud nemáte zahradu, můžete rákosovku 'Beni-kaze' úspěšně pěstovat i v květináči. Vyberte dostatečně prostornou nádobu, aby se kořeny nepřehřívaly, a použijte kvalitní substrát pro balkonové rostliny smíchaný s trochou písku nebo drobného štěrku. V nádobě je rostlina zcela závislá na vaší zálivce, proto ji kontrolujte i v chladnějších dnech, pokud neprší. Pro zimování v nádobě doporučujeme květináč postavit na polystyrenovou desku a obalit jej netkanou textilií, případně jej umístit do chráněného závětří, aby nedošlo k promrznutí kořenového systému.

Japanese forest grass Greenhills, Loukykvět
New

Hakonechloa macra

Japanese forest grass Greenhills is one of the most elegant ornamental grasses you can plant in the shady corners of your garden. It originates from the moist rocky slopes of the Japanese island of Honshu, which predestines its growing requirements. It loves humus-rich, well-draining soil that does not dry out, and it thrives best in partial shade or shade, where its leaves won't be burned by the sharp midday sun. In gardens, it is valued for its cascading growth that resembles flowing water, thus bringing much-desired movement and lightness to static plantings under trees. The Greenhills cultivar stands out with a fresh, bright green leaf color that literally lights up the darker areas under tree canopies. Unlike variegated varieties, it looks very natural and calm, creating a perfect background for other perennials. This long-lived grass does not spread by aggressive runners and keeps its compact clumping shape. Although it is not used much for cutting, it fulfills its ornamental function until late autumn, when the leaves turn warm beige and golden tones. We leave the dry clumps in the bed throughout the whole winter, when they are decorated with frost, and cut them back only in the spring.

Tall Moor Grass Karl Foerster, Loukykvět
