Epimedium grandiflorum
Epimedium Lilafee
Epimedium Lilafee is a treasure for the shady and semi-shady corners of your garden, where other plants would fail to thrive. The original species grows in the mountain forests of East Asia, which predestines it for life under the canopies of trees and shrubs in the garden as well. This long-lived perennial will enchant you with its variable leaves, which play with bronze to red shades when emerging, turn green in summer, and color up again in autumn. The Lilafee cultivar stands out in April and May with a flood of tiny, purple flowers resembling little elven caps or insect wings. The flowers are tiny, but thanks to their abundance and bold color, they literally glow in the spring shade. The plant requires humous, well-drained, and consistently slightly moist soil. Although it looks fragile, it is fully frost-resistant and undemanding to grow, so even a complete beginner can manage it. The flowers are also suitable for cutting into small spring bouquets, where they look very tender. Just keep in mind that the entire plant is poisonous.

Viola labradorica
Violet Purpurea
Violet Purpurea is a tiny jewel that you will fall in love with mainly for its unconventional leaf coloring. This perennial plant, originating from North America, stands out with dark green to purple leaves, which often retain their color even during milder winters, creating an interesting effect in an otherwise empty flowerbed. In April and May, it is additionally adorned by a flood of tiny blue-purple flowers that contrast beautifully with the dark foliage. It is an ideal groundcover perennial that reliably spreads and can fill empty spaces under trees or shrubs where other plants would not thrive. Its great advantage is its extraordinary hardiness and undemanding nature. It can handle sun, partial shade, and shade, provided it has humous and well-drained soil. Thanks to its frost resistance, which reaches extreme temperatures, it is absolutely reliable in our conditions. The violet self-seeds easily, so it will gradually create dense carpets in your garden. Although it is not suitable for cutting into a vase or for drying, it will make you happy in the kitchen. Both its flowers and leaves are edible and can serve as an original decoration for spring salads or desserts. Just beware of slugs, which unfortunately also find this violet very tasty.

Tulipa
Tulip Black Parrot
Parrot tulips are very popular here, and the 'Black Parrot' cultivar is among the most interesting of all. When the typical fringed flower shape meets a trendy dark burgundy to almost black color, a truly unique spring spectacle is born. From the large bulbs provided, a strong plant with sturdy stems forty to fifty centimeters tall will grow during April and May. The dramatically colored petals have edges that resemble ruffled bird feathers and form an interesting contrast to the fresh green leaves. In the garden, this tulip stands out in mixed plantings in sun or partial shade, where its dark tones perfectly complement lighter spring flowers. 'Black Parrot' is an excellent material for bouquets, so we recommend planting a few bulbs specifically for spring vases. In floristry, it brings an unusual structure and a touch of subtle extravagance to arrangements. The plant does not need support and dies back into the bulb after spring flowering.

Crocus Ard Schenk
Crocus Ard Schenk
The 'Ard Schenk' crocus is a messenger of approaching spring, and its pure white flowers can brighten up the garden at a time when most other plants are still fast asleep. Small plants reaching a height of only about ten centimeters grow from the bulbs in early spring. The 'Ard Schenk' variety stands out with beautiful white flowers with a radiant yellow center, which open with the first rays of the sun. In the garden, this crocus is excellent for naturalizing under deciduous shrubs and trees, but also for use in meadows and lawns, where it willingly forms rich carpets of flowers over time. Despite its low stature, it can create an incredible visual effect, especially when planted in larger groups. It also finds its place in spring planters or small rock gardens. Early flowering also represents a very important source of the first food for bees, bumblebees, and other insects waking up after a long winter. Crocuses in general bring freshness to the awakening garden, and the 'Ard Schenk' variety beautifully complements colorful spring compositions with its pure elegance.

Papaver orientale
Oriental Poppy Royal Wedding
Oriental poppy Royal Wedding is an unmissable perennial that brings true elegance to the spring garden. It originally comes from the harsher conditions of the Caucasus, Turkey, and Iran, where it grows on sunny rocky slopes and dry meadows. Because of this, it is exceptionally resilient, easily handling frosts down to minus forty degrees, and can do without complex care. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant to a sunny location with well-drained loamy soil. The cultivar Royal Wedding will reward you in May and June with huge bowl-shaped flowers with pure white petals, which hide a distinct dark burgundy spot in their center. Moreover, these enchanting flowers reliably attract pollinators from far and wide. It is typical for Oriental poppies that their strikingly fuzzy green leaves die back soon after flowering. The plant takes a break over the warmest summer to gather strength, and a smaller portion of the leaves often sprouts again only at the end of summer. Therefore, it is ideal to plant the poppy in the flower bed in close proximity to other perennials that sprout slightly later and naturally fill the empty space left by the resting poppy. It avoids diseases and needs no support, reaching a height of around sixty to eighty centimeters. Just watch out for field voles, which might develop a taste for its fleshy roots. Otherwise, it is a long-lived plant that even a complete beginner can handle without worries. Given that the plant is poisonous, it is naturally not intended for consumption. The giant white flowers are also a great attraction for lovers of cut flowers, although they require a little trick. Similar to other poppies, the stems need to be harvested exactly at the moment when the buds begin to color and slightly crack. Right after cutting, we sear the ends of the stems with a flame for about twenty seconds to prevent sap leakage, and then we put them into cold water. Thanks to this procedure, they will stay beautiful for about four days in a vase and add amazing lightness to bouquets. Although these delicate flowers are not suitable for drying, they simply have no competition in fresh spring bouquets.

Catananche caerulea
Shoofly plant Blue
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.

Lobelia fulgens
Lobelia Queen Victoria
Lobelia Queen Victoria is an unmissable perennial for lovers of vibrant colors and striking contrasts. Its original homeland is the moister regions of North and Central America, so in your garden as well, it will appreciate more abundant watering and humous, well-drained loamy soil. If you provide it with a sunny to semi-shady location, it will reward you with radiant carmine-red flowers from August to October. These create a perfect spectacle in combination with dark burgundy to bronze leaves and sturdy stems that reach a height of just under one meter. You will receive a beautifully grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant directly into the flowerbed. Here it perfectly complements plants with similar moisture requirements. The flowers act as a reliable magnet for bees and other pollinators, and you can also cut them for a vase, where they will liven up your interior. Growing this short-lived perennial requires a little more attention, especially when it comes to protection from slugs, which like to feast on it. Before winter, it is also good to keep in mind that its frost resistance reaches minus fifteen degrees, and to provide it with suitable protection. Also remember that all parts of the lobelia are poisonous, so it is advisable to consider the planting location with regard to pets.

Sidalcea
Checkerbloom Brilliant
The 'Brilliant' prairie mallow is a charming short-lived perennial that resembles miniature hollyhocks with its flowers and brings a romantic touch to the summer garden. Its homeland is the sunny plains and meadows of North America, so it will also grow best in full sun in your garden. We send customers mature potted seedlings, which simply need to be transplanted into well-drained, loamy, and sufficiently humous soil. Caring for it is very easy and can be effortlessly managed even by beginners. During the summer, it needs regular watering, and the only things you need to watch out for are slugs and the possible appearance of rust on the leaves. However, the plant is highly frost-resistant and will survive the winter without problems down to minus twenty-eight degrees. From June to September, it forms tall, straight stems heavily laden with tiny flowers. These reliably act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with a rich pasture. An interesting fact is that these flowers are completely safe and even edible, so you can use them to liven up summer salads or desserts. In flowerbeds, the prairie mallow perfectly complements classic combinations with roses, but it also fits perfectly into wilder plantings in the company of ornamental grasses. It grows to a height of around one meter and does not need any support. If you like to decorate your home with fresh flowers, prairie mallow stems are great for cutting and look beautiful in summer bouquets. The 'Brilliant' cultivar stands out especially for its vibrant, richly colored flowers in shades of crimson, which you truly will not miss against the green background of the leaves.

Clematis heracleifolia
Clematis Mrs R. Brydon
Clematis 'Mrs R. Brydon' is an unusual and very resilient perennial that brings softness and color to the garden just as summer transitions into autumn. The original species comes from the shrubby and forest edges of East Asia, which is why a location in the sun or partial shade suits it well here too. It will thrive in loamy and humus-rich soil with regular watering. An interesting feature of this clematis is its variable growth. If you provide it with support in the form of a fence or trellis, it will willingly climb up to a height of two and a half meters. However, if you leave it to grow freely without support, it grows like a carpet and forms a dense shrub. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you can simply transplant straight into the garden. Care is easy, it doesn't suffer from diseases or pests, and even beginners can easily manage it. During August and September, it gets covered in an abundance of flowers in a gorgeous lavender-blue shade, which react to the ambient temperature and can interestingly fade or darken. The flowers reliably attract bees and are suitable for cutting into bouquets. When handling, remember that the plant is poisonous.

Cultivation
Selecting a Location and Soil Preparation Epimedium Lilafee is a typical woodland understory plant, so look for a spot in partial shade to full shade for it in the garden. Planting under the canopies of deciduous trees or shrubs is ideal, where it will be protected from direct midday sun, which could burn its delicate leaves. The soil should be humous, well-draining, and constantly slightly moist, similar to a forest environment. If you have heavy clay soil in your garden, it is necessary to improve it by adding mature compost or leaf mold to ensure the drainage of excess water while simultaneously providing needed nutrients. The plant does not tolerate permanent waterlogging, but neither does it like completely drying out, so quality soil preparation is the key to success.
Planting and Care Plant the seedlings at intervals of 25–30 cm (approximately 9–12 plants per m2) so they have enough space to spread. After planting, water the plants thoroughly and mulch the surroundings with crushed bark or wood chips, which will help retain moisture in the soil. Although Epimedium is fully frost-hardy (down to -29 °C), in the first year after planting, it will appreciate a light cover of evergreen branches, especially during black frosts. During vegetation, ensure regular watering, especially in dry summer months. In the spring, you can fertilize the plants with a perennial fertilizer or by adding fresh compost to the clumps.
Spring Maintenance and Container Growing A very important step in caring for Epimedium is the spring pruning. Because it is a plant where the leaves often overwinter or persist long into the winter, it is recommended to cut off the old leaves early in the spring (even before the new flowers sprout). This will ensure that the tiny purple flowers are not hidden in the old foliage and the plant looks tidy and fresh. Epimedium can also be successfully grown in larger containers or window boxes placed in the shade. In such a case, do not forget good drainage and more frequent watering, because the substrate in a pot dries out faster than open ground. Watch out for the vine weevil, whose larvae can chew on the roots, and keep in mind that the entire plant is poisonous.

Epimedium grandiflorum
Epimedium Akebono
Barrenwort Akebono is a true jewel for the shady corners of your garden. These plants naturally grow in the undergrowth of light Asian forests, where they thrive in humous and well-drained soil. This is exactly what makes them an ideal choice for planting under trees or shrubs, where they will form a dense and decorative carpet. The Akebono cultivar will delight you in spring, typically in April and May, with delicate flowers in lilac to light purple shades that give a very fragile and elegant impression. Also interesting is the variability of the leaves, which can emerge with a bronze tinge and turn green later. Even though it looks fragile, it is a very hardy and long-lived perennial that easily handles frosts down to -29 °C. The flowers can also be used for cutting into smaller spring arrangements, where they add lightness to the composition. However, it should be kept in mind that the entire plant is poisonous.

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.

Russian sage reliably brings a touch of sunny steppes into the garden and places almost no demands on care.

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. Here it complements ornamental grasses perfectly and acts as an attraction for bees and bumblebees. Although it grows more as a short-lived perennial in our climate, in a suitable place it reliably self-seeds. Occasional pinching will encourage richer branching. Gaura is excellent for summer bouquets. We cut the stems for a vase as soon as the first two to three little flowers open.

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.

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.
