Wild Strawberry
Wild strawberry brings the magic of forest glades and sunny clearings to the garden, where it naturally occurs across all of Europe and northern Asia. This tiny but perennial herb is prized primarily for its incredibly aromatic fruits, which may not compete with cultivated garden strawberries in size, but easily surpass them in their intense flavor and aroma. The plant forms low cushions of deep green trifoliate leaves, and from April to June, it is decorated with tiny, pure white flowers that are an irresistible attraction for bees and other pollinators. Thanks to its undemanding nature and frost resistance down to -35 °C, it is an ideal choice even for beginner growers.
In the garden, wild strawberry serves perfectly as a groundcover perennial that spreads quickly via long runners and can effectively suppress weeds. It thrives best in sun or partial shade, where it has access to humus-rich and slightly moist soil, exactly what it would find in the undergrowth of light deciduous forests. It is suitable for natural corners of the garden, under shrubs, or as edging for flowerbeds, where you can pick a sweet reward at any time. Although you won't use it much for cutting into a vase or for drying, its value lies in its living beauty and edible fruits, which ripen gradually and offer the purest taste of nature right in your home.

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.

Geum rivale
Geum Mango Lassi
Richly blooming geums are a reliable choice for anyone looking for low-maintenance beauty in warm tones. The original plants of this species seek out the damper environments of meadows and light forests, which makes them very adaptable perennials. They will thrive best in both sun and partial shade if you provide them with well-drained loamy soil that retains slight moisture. Simply plant the prepared seedling straight into the flowerbed after unpacking, spacing them thirty centimeters apart. The clumps of leaves will gradually intertwine and create a natural ground cover. The 'Mango Lassi' variety is exceptional with its ruffled apricot flowers that appear from spring until the first days of autumn. The radiant and moreover edible blooms act as a valuable food source for bees and butterflies. The short-lived geum bravely resists frosts, does not suffer from diseases or pests, and does not need support, so it will bring joy even to complete beginners. In a vase, it stays fresh for about seven days. We do not recommend drying it, but the plant fully compensates for this with its basal leaves, which provide an engaging winter effect in the flowerbed.

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.

It is perfectly suited for edging borders, dry stone walls, or softening pathway edges. Both flowers and leaves are excellent for drying and culinary use. A major bonus is its changing winter appearance, when low temperatures turn the entire plant into stunning dusty pink tones.

Petroselinum hortense
Garden Parsley
Garden parsley is not just an ordinary herb for soup, but a surprisingly versatile and hardy perennial that deserves a place in every garden. Its home is the sunny Mediterranean region, so it will thrive in your garden in full sun in loamy, humus-rich soil with regular watering. From our offer, you will receive a well-rooted seedling in a pot that just needs to be tipped out and planted in your chosen spot. It can grow in a classic garden bed or in a spacious planter on the terrace. A great advantage is its frost resistance down to minus twenty-three degrees and complete resistance to common diseases and pests. Even beginner gardeners need not worry about growing it.
The aromatic green parsley leaves contain high amounts of vitamins A and C and have an absolutely indispensable place in the kitchen. In the bed, however, it also works great as a companion plant. You can plant it with a spacing of forty centimeters among roses, whose fragrance it is said to naturally support, or combine it with other vegetables; it does particularly well alongside radishes. In the first half of summer, during June and July, the plant creates discreet but charming umbels of tiny white flowers. These grow to a height of about thirty to fifty centimeters and have a very natural appearance in the garden. The flowering stems can easily be cut for a vase, where they act as excellent filler greenery that reliably lasts about a week. After flowering, the firm stems can also be used for drying in various floral arrangements.

Paeonia
Peony Jan van Leeuwen
Peony Jan van Leeuwen captivates with pure white, single flowers, whose center is adorned with bright yellow stamens. This cultivar stands out above all for the length and abundance of its blooming, making it perfectly suited for more naturalistic plantings as well as classic perennial beds.
Herbaceous garden peonies are long-lived perennials, but they require patience from the gardener. They take several years to grow into their full beauty, and blooming in the very first year after planting is more of an exception than the rule. For successful growth, they need the right conditions besides time, so we recommend studying our growing instructions.
Most cultivars have their origins in Chinese and common peonies, which were a traditional part of monastery gardens. Today, we like to combine them with perennials, ornamental grasses, and bulbs, but we must always give them enough space. Potted seedlings can be planted continuously from spring to autumn.

Showy stonecrop is one of the longest-living and hardiest perennials you can treat your garden to. It originally comes from the Far East, where it colonizes sunny and dry slopes. For successful cultivation, you simply need to find it a spot in direct sun with well-drained sandy soil.

This stonecrop easily survives harsh winters with frosts dropping to minus twenty-eight degrees, and pests and diseases avoid it.

Cultivation
Wild strawberry is an ideal choice for those who want to bring a piece of wild nature into their garden while enjoying a tasty treat. Since we supply you with ready-made seedlings, the hassle of demanding sowing is eliminated. These plants thrive best in well-draining and nutritious soil with plenty of humus. When choosing a location, remember that although it tolerates shade, it will produce the most flowers and sweetest fruits in sun or light semi-shade. When planting, make sure the "heart" of the plant (the center where the leaves grow from) remains just above the ground level – it must not be buried deep in the soil, nor too high, to prevent the roots from drying out. The plant willingly spreads sideways, so use it as a groundcover perennial under shrubs or trees, where it will retain moisture and improve the microclimate.
Care during the season is undemanding and can be managed even by a complete beginner. Moisture is key, especially during the flowering period (April to June) and during fruit formation. Water less frequently but thoroughly, so the water reaches the roots. Because it is a native, uncultivated species, it does not suffer from common diseases or pests, making it a perfect plant for organic, chemical-free gardens. After fruiting, you can slightly clean the plants of dry leaves, but it is not necessary. The wild strawberry is extremely frost-resistant (zone 3a), so it requires no special winter protection and can withstand even black frosts.
This forest beauty is also an excellent candidate for growing in containers. It will thrive in window boxes on a windowsill or in hanging baskets on a terrace, provided you ensure enough light and regular watering. In the confined space of a container, nutrients are depleted faster, so we recommend fertilizing with a liquid organic fertilizer for small fruits during the growing season. Thanks to its low growth (10–30 cm) and no need for support, it will form a dense, compact clump in a container, delighting you with rich green leaves, delicate white flowers, and later, a sweet harvest right at your fingertips.
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.

Helichrysum bracteatum
Strawflower Salmon
Divine color cocktail of sunset colors. From light champagne and apricot to salmon and old wine. Strawflower is a classic from grandma's garden but also an evergreen of dried flowers. We love using them when binding wedding flowers because they don't wilt. They are suitable for corsages, wreaths, and boutonnieres.
