Známá též jakoBukvice lékařská 'Hummelo', Čistec lékařský 'Hummelo', Čistec hustokvětý 'Hummelo'
Betony, or Stachys, Hummelo is now an iconic perennial made famous by the renowned garden designer Piet Oudolf, after whose hometown it is named. This plant will win you over with its amazing ability to bring a firm structure and at the same time the wild beauty of a blooming meadow to the flowerbed. From a basal rosette of wrinkled, deep green leaves, upright, leafless stems topped with dense spikes of vibrant purplish-pink flowers emerge in June and July. Unlike many other perennials, the stems do not break or flop, so the plant looks neat and elegant even after heavy summer rain. In the garden, it works great in larger groups, where over time it creates a dense cover that gives weeds no chance and looks very natural. It is literally a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, who find a rich source of nectar on the deadnettle-like flowers. Thanks to its low-maintenance nature, it is an ideal choice even for beginner growers, because in our conditions it does not suffer from diseases or pests and reliably handles frosts down to -28 degrees. It suits regular garden loamy soil in the sun or light partial shade. If you like making bouquets, betony will also please you as a cut flower. It stays fresh for a long time in a vase and with its vertical lines adds an interesting vertical accent to arrangements, which pairs perfectly with, for example, spherical flowers or delicate grasses. Show full description

Agastache 'Blue Fortune' is an amazingly fragrant perennial that will bring a flood of purple flowers and a lot of life to your garden. Its original homeland is the mountain meadows and forest edges in China and Japan. It forms stable and upright clumps with green, toothed leaves. At first glance, these resemble an ordinary nettle, but they don't sting, and when you rub them between your fingers, you'll smell a pleasant mint-anise scent. From July to September, lavender-purple flowers appear on stems up to one meter high, acting as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. It is a very hardy and undemanding plant, which you will receive as a grown seedling in a pot, ready to be planted straight into the flower bed. It thrives best in full sun in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil. It doesn't need any complicated care, doesn't suffer from pests or diseases, and can handle even severe Czech frosts without problems. It fits perfectly into mixed perennial beds, where it complements ornamental grasses. The flowers are also edible, so you can use them to garnish summer dishes. The 'Blue Fortune' cultivar stands out for its compact shape and exceptionally long blooming period. It is also excellent for cutting into summer bouquets.

Woodland Sage Caradonna, Loukykvět

Salvia nemorosa

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.

You don't have to worry about tedious care; masterwort is an extremely resilient long-lived perennial.

Catmint Walker’s Low, Loukykvět

Nepeta racemosa

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. Nepeta racemosa naturally grows on dry meadows and rocky, stony slopes from the Caucasus to Central Asia. It has aromatic grey-green leaves and forms a tufted semi-spherical bush.

*Salvia greggii*, often called autumn sage, is, in the case of the 'Dancing Dolls' cultivar, a tireless bloomer that will adorn your garden containers with flowers from late spring until freezing.

Cultivation

Pro úspěšné pěstování bukvice 'Hummelo' vyberte stanoviště na plném slunci nebo v mírném polostínu, kde se jí bude dařit nejlépe. Tato trvalka není náročná na typ půdy, ale vyhovuje jí především běžná zahradní zemina, která je hlinitá a dostatečně propustná. Je důležité, aby půda nebyla trvale zamokřená, protože v přemokřeném substrátu by kořeny mohly trpět, ale zároveň by neměla zcela vyschnout. Před výsadbou sazenice doporučujeme půdu vylepšit trochou vyzrálého kompostu, který dodá rostlině startovací živiny a zlepší strukturu zeminy.
Sazenice vysazujeme do připravených jamek tak, aby horní hrana kořenového balu byla v rovině s okolním terénem. Vzhledem k tomu, že bukvice 'Hummelo' vypadá nejlépe ve skupinách a časem vytváří zapojený porost, dodržujte doporučený spon přibližně 35 cm, což odpovídá hustotě 7 až 9 rostlin na metr čtvereční. Po výsadbě rostliny důkladně zalijte a v prvních týdnech, než plně zakoření, udržujte půdu mírně vlhkou. Jakmile se rostlina uchytí, je poměrně tolerantní a zvládne i kratší přísušky, i když pravidelná zálivka v horkých dnech podpoří bohatší olistění a kvetení.
Údržba této trvalky je velmi snadná a zvládne ji i naprostý začátečník, navíc rostlina netrpí na škůdce ani choroby. Pokud chcete podpořit vitalitu a prodloužit dobu kvetení, je vhodné průběžně odstraňovat odkvetlé stonky. Často se tak dočkáte opakovaného kvetení později v sezóně. Na podzim se listy mohou nechat na rostlině, protože bukvice má zajímavý zimní efekt a její pevné stonky se pod sněhem nelámou, čímž dodávají zahradě strukturu i v zimních měsících. Celý trs doporučujeme sestřihnout až brzy na jaře nízko nad zemí, aby uvolnil místo novým, svěžím výhonům. Díky plné mrazuvzdornosti až do -28 °C není potřeba žádná speciální zimní ochrana.
Pěstování v nádobách je také možné a velmi efektní. Pro tento účel zvolte dostatečně velký květináč s odtokovým otvorem na dně, aby přebytečná voda mohla odtékat. Na dno nádoby dejte vrstvu štěrku nebo keramzitu jako drenáž a použijte kvalitní substrát pro trvalky. Pamatujte, že rostliny v nádobách vysychají rychleji než ve volné půdě, proto je nutné je častěji zalévat, a to i během mírných zim, pokud nemrzne. V nádobě vynikne bukvice 'Hummelo' jako solitéra nebo v kombinaci s nižšími trávami.

Betony Saharan Pink, Loukykvět

Betonica officinalis

Betony, or woundwort, is an ancient medicinal and magical protective plant. However, we also appreciate its charm in perennial beds. Apart from the pink dead-nettle-like flowers, its great advantage is its ability to spread over time into dense stands. The flowers are a source of nectar for bees and butterflies.

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.

Woodland Sage Caradonna, Loukykvět

Salvia nemorosa

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.

Gaura lindheimeri

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.

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.

Calamint Blue Cloud, Loukykvět

Gaura Summer Breeze, Loukykvět

Gaura lindheimeri

The charming gaura comes from the sun-drenched plains of Texas and Louisiana and represents exactly the plant that can liven up any drought-tolerant planting. It is a naturally profusely blooming perennial that delights in full sun and well-drained, sandy, and nutrient-poor soil. You will receive from us an already grown seedling in a pot, which will quickly form a vigorous clump after being transplanted into the garden. From early summer until late autumn, it will delight you with a flood of tiny flowers in pure white and delicate pink tones. 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. It is often used in mixed borders, where it beautifully softens the overall impression, and perfectly matches various types of ornamental grasses. The Summer Breeze variety is popular for its strong and healthy growth as well as its exceptionally generous set of flowers, which grow to about one meter. If you like to create your own bouquets, do not hesitate to cut gaura for a vase. Harvesting is best done the moment the first small flowers on the stem begin to open. These delicate flowers are not suitable for drying into dried arrangements, but they will beautifully lighten up fresh bouquets.
