Catananche caerulea
Eastern Bluestar
Catananche caerulea, also known as Cupid's dart, is a charming plant that will win you over with its lightness and airiness. Its scientific name refers to old 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 perfectly suited for natural-style gardens, gravel beds, and drought-tolerant plantings, where it beautifully complements other perennials or ornamental grasses. It grows to a height of up to ninety centimeters and, despite its height, needs no support. The flowers are lavender blue with a darker center and toothed petals at the ends. They bloom gradually from June to September. Cupid's dart loves drought and heat; conversely, it does not tolerate winter dampness, which harms it more than frost. If you provide it with a well-drained location, it can 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 you will get the most joy from dried ones. 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.

Avens Tempest Scarlet
Avens Tempest Scarlet brings a flood of vibrant colors and spring freshness to the garden. The original species of avens grow in moister but well-drained meadows and light forest edges, which is why they thrive best here in sun or partial shade in humus-rich loamy soil. You will receive an already rooted seedling in a pot from us, which you can easily transplant straight to your chosen spot. Avens are generally very undemanding plants, do not need any support, and effortlessly withstand frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. The Tempest Scarlet cultivar was bred in Scotland and stands out with the deep scarlet color of its semi-double, slightly ruffled flowers, which bloom on long branched stems from May to July. After a summer break, it will often delight you with another blooming in the autumn. With its clumping growth, it will eventually form a nice ground cover, and its flowers attract bees and butterflies. It is an excellent perennial for mixed flowerbeds as well as for cutting. We harvest the stems for bouquets as soon as about a quarter to half of the flowers are open. It will stay beautiful in a vase for about seven days, but it is not suitable for drying. Common pests and diseases avoid it, making it an ideal choice for complete beginners.

Nepeta racemosa
Catmint Superba
Catmints are ideal companions for roses, suitable for natural-style gardens, and lower species also for window boxes and pots. Some of them are an irresistible attraction for cats, caused by the hallucinogen nepetalactone. This should be contained in the highest amount in the species Nepeta cataria. Conversely, lemon-scented catmints reportedly do not attract cats. The botanical name Nepeta probably 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 grows naturally on dry meadows and rocky, stony slopes from the Caucasus to Central Asia. It has aromatic gray-green leaves and forms a tufted semi-circular bush. Superba is a great variety, valued for its energetic cushion-like growth and almost continuous flowering.

Sesleria caerulea
Blue Moor Grass
Blue moor grass is an elegant and undemanding native grass that livens up the spring garden at a time when other plants are just waking up. In the wild, it naturally grows in warmer areas on rocks and sunny slopes with well-drained soil. It forms dense, neat clumps growing to a height of about thirty centimeters. Its main advantage is its striking grayish-green and dark green leaves, which, with sufficient moisture, remain evergreen all year round. During April and May, the moor grass blooms with interesting brown spikelets. Over time, these flowers naturally fade into soft beige tones, and when dried, they are perfectly suited as a delicate addition to small dry arrangements. In flowerbeds, it represents an ideal companion for spring bulbs, with which it forms very harmonious compositions. Cultivation can easily be managed even by a beginner, as the plant does not suffer from any diseases or pests and can withstand frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees without damage. Simply transplant the supplied mature seedling to a sunny or partially shaded location, ideally maintaining a planting distance of around forty centimeters.

Geum rivale
Geum Mango Lassi
Richly blooming geums are a reliable choice for anyone looking for low-maintenance beauty in warm tones.

Aquilegia vulgaris
Columbine Kristall
The common columbine is a versatile perennial that will reliably inhabit both rural and modern flowerbeds. In the wild, it grows on the edges of forests and in light groves across all of Europe, which is why it thrives best in the garden in full sun to partial shade and ordinary loamy soil rich in humus. Its main charm lies in its unusually shaped flowers, but it is also valuable for its very early sprouting green leaves, which awaken the garden after winter. You will receive a beautifully grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant to your chosen spot. Although the plant is poisonous, it represents a huge asset for gardeners. Even complete beginners can manage growing it, pests avoid it, and it easily survives severe frosts dropping to minus thirty-four degrees.
During May and June, delicate flowers bloom on sturdy, sixty to eighty-centimeter-tall stems, bringing typical airiness and lightness to the planting. The 'Kristall' cultivar is a large-flowered variety that stands out with pure white flowers and prominent spurs. These act as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and other beneficial pollinators. Keep in mind that in a favorable location, columbine very willingly self-seeds, taking care of natural-looking wild stands. It works well in perennial beds and as an undergrowth beneath taller shrubs.
If you like bringing a piece of the garden home, columbine certainly won't disappoint you. It is perfectly suited for cutting and will bring a novel structure to spring bouquets. Fresh flowers will bring you joy in a vase for about seven days. If you leave some of the flowers to finish blooming on the flowerbed, they will form interesting seed pods, which are highly popular among florists for creating various natural decorations and can also be dried well. Just watch out for the occasional occurrence of powdery mildew during the drier months, but otherwise, the plant needs almost no care.

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.

Dicentra spectabilis Alba
Bleeding Heart Alba
The original home of bleeding hearts is Korea and China, where they grow in light deciduous forests. They are classic garden perennials. They will look perfect in nostalgically styled flower beds; the white variant fits well even into naturalistic woodland gardens. They are popular for their heart-shaped flowers hanging on horizontal or arching stems. These weaken and die back some time after flowering; all the plant's energy then concentrates in the roots, and at that moment, we can cut the above-ground part back completely. For the rest of the year, we won't even know the bleeding heart is in the garden. It will remind us of its charm again in the spring. Perfect vase life, at least 7 days. Harvest when the first 3–4 flowers open on the stem. Alba has beautiful pure white flowers; the shoots sprouting in spring are light lime green.

Peony Shirley Temple
Peonies are valuable in gardens for their large and impressive flowers. They are long-lived perennials for patient gardeners.

Today, we combine them with perennials, grasses, and bulbs. However, we always give them plenty of space in the flowerbed. Shirley Temple is one of the most popular peonies. The buds have a light pink color and transition to ivory white during flowering. A sunny location and good soil conditions are important for the health of this peony.

Cephalaria gigantea
Giant scabious
Giant scabious is an imposing solitary perennial that will bring a striking vertical structure and natural wild charm to the garden. It comes from the mountain meadows of the Caucasus, which dictates its growing requirements. From the delivered seedling, a highly noticeable plant with a massive, sparsely branched growth will quickly grow in full sun or partial shade and humus-rich loamy soil. Given its dimensions, we recommend planting one piece per square meter. It commonly reaches a height of up to two and a half meters, yet it needs no support at all. From June to August, it forms scabiosa-like flowers in pastel yellow to lime colors on long stems. This creates a very effective contrast between the relatively massive bulk of green leaves and the airy, wiry stems with small flower heads. It resists frosts down to minus thirty-four degrees without any problems, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and easily self-seeds. It is a highly attractive lure for bees and other pollinators. The unusual flowers are perfectly suited for cutting; they last about five days in a vase. The faded inflorescences are also interesting, useful for drying and floristry purposes. If you leave them in the flower bed, they will provide a beautiful winter effect.

Liatris spicata
Liatris Floristan White
The pure white flowers of the 'Floristan White' variety bring elegant vertical lines and a completely novel look to summer beds. Blazing star is very popular among growers thanks to its peculiarity; it blooms exactly the opposite of most other plants, from the tip of the inflorescence downwards, which has earned it the fitting folk name "shorakvět" (top-flower) in our country. Its natural homeland is the North American prairies, where it grows in open sunny areas with nutritious and well-drained humous soil. Exactly such conditions will be ideal for it in your garden as well. We send customers grown seedlings directly in pots, which take root quickly after being transplanted into the ground and soon form vigorous clumps of narrow green leaves.
Caring for this perennial is truly undemanding, and beginner gardeners can embark on it without worry. The plant grows to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, has stable stems that do not require support, is avoided by diseases, and excels in reliable frost resistance, as it can withstand temperatures down to minus thirty-four degrees. The only unwanted visitor can be the field vole, which is sometimes attracted to its tubers. From mid-summer to early autumn, you can look forward to blooming, which makes the plant a living magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In beds, it looks great in larger groups and gets along perfectly with ornamental grasses. The flowers apply excellently in floristry, because they stay fresh for a long time in a vase and liven up any bouquet. Furthermore, it pays off to leave the stems on the bed in autumn, as they provide a beautiful spectacle for winter interest.

Columbine meadow-rue
Columbine meadow-rue is a charming perennial that looks like a fluffy colored cloud in the garden.

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.

Cultivation
For the successful cultivation of this airy perennial, choosing the right location is absolutely crucial. Blue star, which you will receive as an established seedling, requires full sun and warmth. In the shade, the plant would suffer, bloom poorly, and its stems would stretch and flop. The soil must be very well-draining, ideally sandy, rocky, or gravelly. The plant is undemanding regarding nutrients and prefers poorer soils. If you have heavy clay soil in your garden, it is essential to add a thick drainage layer to the planting hole and lighten the soil with sand or fine gravel before planting.
We plant the seedlings with a spacing of approximately 35 cm (about 8 plants per m²) so they have plenty of space and air. After planting, water the plant so it roots well, but once established, water sparingly. Blue star is drought-tolerant and waterlogging harms it more than long-term drought. Fertilizing is unnecessary – an excess of nutrients would lead to lush leaf growth at the expense of flowers. A great advantage is that this plant does not suffer from any specific diseases or pests, so you can do without chemical protection.
We must take into account its natural short lifespan; it usually lasts in full vigor for 3 to 4 years in one location. However, you can extend its lifespan with proper care, especially by ensuring dryness in winter. Although it is frost-resistant down to -18 °C, it cannot stand winter wetness, which causes root rot. Therefore, we recommend not covering the plant with impermeable materials for the winter, but rather ensuring water drainage. To encourage the formation of new buds during the summer, regularly remove faded flowers.
If you don't have a garden, Blue star can also be successfully grown in containers or window boxes. The container must have a drainage hole at the bottom and a drainage layer (expanded clay, pebbles). Mix the substrate in a 1:1 ratio with horticultural sand or gravel so the water drains quickly. In containers, the plant is somewhat more sensitive to the freezing of the root ball, so move it to a protected place by the house wall for the winter or wrap the container with insulation.

Times may vary depending on the season, climate, location, sowing and transplanting dates and possibly also the conditions in the greenhouse/greenhouse.
