Erigeron karvinskianus
Fleabane Blütenmeer
Fleabane Blütenmeer is an ethereal, short-lived perennial that came to us all the way from Mexico, bringing unbridled lightness to European gardens. It looks like a flood of tiny daisies that gradually change color from pure white to soft pink, so you will see a diverse palette of shades on a single plant simultaneously. It is perfectly suited for growing on sunny rockeries, in dry stone walls, or even in containers, where it forms profusely blooming cushions. Although it is a short-lived plant, in well-drained soil it often maintains itself through self-seeding, so you will enjoy its beauty in the garden repeatedly. Moreover, the flowers tirelessly attract bees and other pollinators from early summer until the first frosts. You can also harvest them for tiny vases, where their delicate little flowers will complement the atmosphere of 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.

Agastache rugosa
Agastache Black Adder
The Agastache 'Black Adder' cultivar is a sturdy and attractive perennial that you will simply not overlook in the garden. Its wild ancestors come from the sun-drenched regions of East Asia, primarily Japan and China. Therefore, it is best suited here to a sunny location and well-drained sandy or loamy soil, where unnecessary moisture will not be retained around it. A beautifully mature potted seedling will arrive at your home from us, which simply needs to be transplanted directly outside into the flowerbed, ideally with a spacing of fifty centimeters. It will quickly take root and soon form massive upright stems almost one meter tall. It does not need any support and perfectly complements other drought-tolerant perennials. Even though the leaves strikingly resemble nettle leaves, you don't have to be afraid of them. They offer only a refreshing mint and anise scent. Moreover, these aromatic leaves and the blue flowers themselves are edible and suitable for garnishing your culinary creations. 'Black Adder' is exceptional for its very dark flower coloration and an unusually long blooming period from July to September. The blue flowers act literally as a magnet for bees and butterflies. The plant is excellent for cutting into fresh arrangements, maintaining its freshness in a vase for about seven days. The fading spike-like inflorescences do not lose their shape and look constantly very captivating. You can later use them for floristic purposes and drying, where they will add an interesting vertical structure to bouquets. It is an ideal choice even for complete beginners, as it does not suffer from diseases and easily survives harsh frosts.

Avens Totally Tangerine
Avens Totally Tangerine will brighten any garden with its cup-shaped flowers in warm shades that resemble the color of ripe tangerines. The original botanical species of this cute avens originate from the mountainous regions of Chile, which is why it thrives best even in our conditions in well-drained, humus-rich, and loamy soil. It handles frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees without problems, and even complete beginners can easily handle caring for it, as it does not suffer from diseases or pests. You will get an already grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant straight into the flowerbed in sun or partial shade. It is ideal to plant the plants about half a meter apart. Here it will soon form a dense clump of green leaves, from which sturdy stems up to ninety centimeters tall emerge, and they do not need any support.
Although it is a short-lived perennial, it will make up for everything with its incredible persistence in blooming. Unlike other avens, the Totally Tangerine variety starts its blooming season a little later, but in return, it will delight you without a break from May to September. The semi-double flowers also gradually transition into a deep salmon to dark peach color and are a literal magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In a flowerbed, it functions excellently as a filler plant, nicely connecting other perennials with its neutral structure.
You will also enjoy the blooming avens at home. It is excellently suited for cutting into summer bouquets. We recommend cutting the stems when a quarter to half of the flowers on the branch are already open. They will then last about a week in a vase and gently liven up any arrangement. Although it is not suitable for drying, it will do a lot of work in the flowerbed even through winter, when its foliage and remains of stems create an interesting winter effect under frost or snow.

This massive, shrub-like growing perennial, native to the western Mediterranean, does not deny its southern temperament and loves sunny locations with well-drained, loamy soil. It stands out with an incredibly long blooming period, tirelessly producing a flood of large, deep pink flowers resembling hibiscuses from June until the end of the summer holidays.

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.

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.

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.

Hesperis matronalis
Sweet Rocket White
Sweet rocket is a plant that should not be missing in any cottage garden. It originally comes from moister forest edges and meadows, so it thrives in humous and well-draining soil in full sun or partial shade. It is rather a short-lived perennial or biennial, but in a suitable location, it reliably maintains itself by self-seeding. It stands out with its captivating fragrance, which fully develops only with the arrival of evening, thereby attracting moths and other pollinators. This pure white variant adds elegance and freshness to flowerbeds. It is perfectly suited as a companion plant to roses or as an undergrowth beneath taller shrubs and trees, where it creates a brightening element. If you grow it for cutting, harvest the stems the moment the first few blooms open. Bear in mind that even after cutting, the stems can grow a bit more in the vase, which is good to consider when arranging. It will last five to seven days in water.

Columbine Nora Barlow
The 'Nora Barlow' columbine variety is a historical gem, discovered in Cambridge in the 1980s by the granddaughter of the famous Charles Darwin. This unique plant is characterized by non-traditional flowers, whose coloration smoothly transitions from dusty pink through white to delicate greenish tones. Naturally, columbines occur in light forests, so they are best suited to a partially shaded location with well-draining loamy soil full of humus. They are versatile flowers suitable for rustic cottage gardens as well as natural compositions. Their charm lies not only in the flowers attracting bees but also in the early-sprouting green leaves. Beginners can handle their cultivation, the plants survive even extreme frosts, and they willingly self-seed in the garden. Just remember that columbine is poisonous, and it is good to occasionally check it for aphids, slugs, or powdery mildew. The stems blooming during May and June will add lightness to the flowerbeds. They are ideal for cutting, bring joy in a vase for about seven days, and serve beautifully for drying as well.

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.

Peonies are valuable in gardens for their large and impressive flowers. They are long-lived perennials for patient gardeners. It takes them several years to grow to full beauty and for you to see abundant flowering. Therefore, a blooming peony in the very first year after planting is more of an exception, certainly not the rule. Besides time, it needs the right conditions to flower. Check out our growing guide. Herbaceous garden peonies are one of the longest-bred garden plants, and most cultivars originate from Chinese and medicinal peonies, which have long been part of monastery gardens. Today, we combine them with perennials, grasses, and bulbs. However, we always give them plenty of space in the flowerbed. Monsieur Jules Elie is a breathtakingly pink peony with a full flower and a magical scent. Its slender stems deserve support to carry the full flowers.

Cultivation
Fleabane Blütenmeer is an undemanding and rewarding plant that will arrive as an already established seedling. Choosing the right location is absolutely crucial for successful cultivation. This Mexican beauty thrives best in full sun, or in light semi-shade. What it cannot tolerate, however, is heavy, clay soil that retains water. Therefore, choose places with well-draining, sandy or loamy soil for planting, ideally in rockeries, dry walls, or on the edges of flowerbeds, where water drains quickly. If you have heavier soil in your garden, it must be lightened by mixing in sand or fine gravel before planting.
When planting, keep a spacing of approximately 35 cm, which works out to 8 to 10 plants per square meter. The seedlings will quickly spread and form dense, abundantly flowering cushions 20–30 cm high. Watering should be rather moderate. Once the plant takes root, it handles even short periods of drought well. Conversely, waterlogging, especially in combination with the cold, harms it. A great advantage of fleabane is that it does not suffer from pests or diseases, so you can leave the chemical protection in the cupboard. Moreover, the flowers are edible and attract a large number of bees and butterflies.
When it comes to wintering, Erigeron karvinskianus is frost-resistant down to about -15 °C to -18 °C (zone 7a), but in our conditions, it is often more threatened by winter wetness than frost. In the ground, it behaves as a short-lived perennial. To survive the winter outside, provide it with perfect drainage and ideally do not cut it back in the autumn – the dry parts will serve as natural protection. You can also add a cover of spruce branches. If the plant does not survive the winter, do not despair. Fleabane self-seeds very willingly, so in the spring you will often find new seedlings around the original planting, which will ensure continuity of blooming for the next seasons.
Fleabane is also an excellent choice for growing in containers and window boxes. In a pot, it will create a wonderful trailing cascade full of tiny flowers changing color from white to pink. When growing in a container, however, it is necessary to provide drainage holes and a drainage layer (expanded clay, pebbles) at the bottom. Mix the substrate with a little sand. For winter, we recommend moving the containers to a protected, bright, and frost-free place (for example, to an unheated greenhouse or winter garden) and limiting watering to a minimum, because in a frozen pot the roots would not survive the winter outside.
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.
