Persicaria amplexicaulis
Persicaria Rosea
Other Latin namesPolygonum amplexicaule, Bistorta amplexicaulis
Fleeceflower Rosea is an imposing perennial that will bring vertical structure and softness to your flowerbeds. The original species comes from the moister mountain meadows of the Himalayas, making this plant very hardy and vigorous. In the garden, it forms dense clumps of fresh green leaves that reliably cover the soil and give weeds no chance. From mid-summer until the first frosts, it blooms tirelessly with a multitude of slender spikes that elegantly tower above the leaves. The inflorescences are literally a magnet for bees and other pollinators, so you will attract useful life to the garden with it. The Rosea cultivar is characterized by a gentle, light pink shade of flowers that looks very romantic and unobtrusive. Thanks to its height of around one meter, it is perfectly suited for the middle and rear parts of perennial beds, where it stands out beautifully in combination with ornamental grasses or as underplanting for taller shrubs. Fleeceflower is not demanding to grow; it does best in sun or partial shade in humous, sufficiently moist soil. The flowers are also suitable for cutting into a vase, where they stay fresh and bring joy indoors. It is a long-lived perennial that does not suffer from diseases or pests, making it an ideal choice even for beginner gardeners.

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.

Septemberrubin has rich carmine-pink flowers with a yellow center. It lasts 7 to 10 days in a vase.

It stands out perfectly in groups, holds its shape, needs no support, and does not suffer from pests. If you like creating fresh bouquets, the bent flower spikes will bring you joy.

Nepeta racemosa
Catmint Walker’s Low
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. Walker’s Low got its name after an Irish estate where it was bred in 1970. It has the most intense blue-violet flower coloration.

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.

These light purple to pink flowers emit a pleasant fragrance and act as a literal magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It is a completely undemanding plant avoided by pests and diseases, and it easily survives even very severe frosts well below minus thirty degrees. Eupatorium works excellently as a striking solitary plant in the back of a flowerbed or near water features. If you like to decorate your home, you can also use its sturdy stems for cutting into summer bouquets. In the autumn, it pays off not to remove the faded inflorescences, because when covered with frost in the winter months, they create a magnificent spectacle in the flowerbed.

Cultivation
Persicaria Rosea is a rewarding perennial that, for its successful growth, primarily requires a properly chosen location where it will have enough space to stand out. It is ideal to place the seedlings in a sunny spot or partial shade. Given that the original species comes from moist mountain meadows, this plant loves water but cannot stand permanent waterlogging. The soil should be loamy, humous, and well-draining so that the roots can breathe, but at the same time, the earth retains the necessary moisture. If you have heavy clay soil in your garden, we recommend lightening it with compost before planting; conversely, work organic matter into overly sandy soil to help retain water. Because it is a vigorous plant reaching over one meter in height, maintain a spacing of 45–60 cm when planting (approximately 3 to 5 plants per m²), so that individual clumps have enough room and at the same time eventually form a closed canopy.
Caring for this perennial is not demanding, making it a great choice even for beginner gardeners. Watering is key, especially on hot summer days if you are growing Persicaria in full sun. The plant will show you a lack of water by drooping its leaves, but it recovers quickly after being watered. To maintain moisture and supply nutrients, it is very advisable to mulch the area around the plant or fertilize it in the spring with mature compost or organic fertilizer. A great advantage of the Rosea cultivar is its natural resistance – it does not suffer from common diseases or pests, so chemical protection is generally not necessary at all. During the season, you can remove spent stems, but it is not essential; the plant blooms persistently until autumn.
With the arrival of winter, you don't have to worry about Persicaria; it is fully frost-hardy down to -28 °C (zone 5a) and overwinters in our conditions without problems, needing no special protection. The above-ground part of the plant will die back and dry up with the first frosts. Leave the dry stems and leaves on the flowerbed throughout the winter; they act as a natural insulation for the roots and additionally provide shelter for small insects. Perform pruning only in early spring (March), when you cut the entire clump low above the ground. Soon after, the plant will start sprouting again, forming rich clumps of fresh green leaves. It is a long-lived perennial that will last for many years in one place and gathers beauty with age.
Customers often ask if it is possible to grow Persicaria in containers as well. The answer is yes, but with certain specifics. Given that it is a massive plant over 100 cm tall, you will need a sufficiently large and stable pot (at least 40–50 cm in diameter). Do not forget to put a drainage layer at the bottom of the container. Growing in a container places much higher demands on watering – the substrate must never dry out completely, which in a hot summer can mean watering even every day. Container growing on a balcony is therefore only suitable for those who can ensure a regular water supply, or alternatively, use self-watering containers.
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.

Persicaria affinis
Persicaria Superba
Persicaria 'Superba' is a tirelessly blooming perennial that will reliably liven up the damper corners of your garden. In the wild, this species most often grows in damp meadows and along the banks of watercourses, where it seeks out nitrogen-rich soils. It will appreciate similar conditions at your place, whether you have loamy, humous, or heavier clay soil. It revels in both sun and partial shade and easily survives even the severest frosts dropping to minus thirty-four degrees. You will receive a well-rooted potted seedling from us, which just needs to be transplanted to your chosen spot. It will quickly form a low and dense stand twenty to thirty centimeters tall, with the dark green leaves gradually taking on an interesting bronze tinge. From summer to autumn, upright unbranched stems topped with tiny light pink flowers tower above them. These act as a perfect magnet for bees and bumblebees. Persicaria is excellently suited for natural gardens, pond edges, or as an undergrowth in places that naturally hold moisture. It is a completely low-maintenance plant, suffering from no diseases or pests, so even a complete beginner can playfully manage growing it. If you like to decorate your home, you can use the flowers for cutting into summer bouquets, though they are not suitable for dried arrangements.

Persicaria Lisan
Persicaria 'Lisan' is an indispensable perennial for anyone who wants to have a blooming garden even in the second half of summer and in autumn. This type of persicaria has its origins in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas, where it naturally inhabits moister meadows and forest edges. As a result, the plant is very hardy and vigorous even in the garden, loves nutritious, humous soils that retain moisture, and thrives in both sun and partial shade. In plantings, it is valued for its ability to quickly close the canopy and suppress weeds, while not suffering from diseases or pests. Its dense clumps of fresh green leaves form a perfect undergrowth under taller shrubs or trees and bring dynamics to the beds even when other summer perennials are already fading. The 'Lisan' cultivar stands out for its striking, crimson-red inflorescences in the shape of narrow spikes, which tower above the leaves from July until the first frosts in October. Compared to some other persicarias, it grows to a more compact height of between 50 and 75 centimeters and does not require support, as its stems are firm and upright. These candle-like flowers look very impressive in perennial plantings and are literally a magnet for bees and other pollinators. Persicaria 'Lisan' is also excellent for cutting into a vase, where its rich color and interesting structure will last for several days and perfectly complement autumn arrangements.

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.
