Hypericum calycinum
Creeping St. John's wort
The golden flowers of the St. John's wort will reliably brighten up your garden from summer through autumn. This subshrub originates from the mountainous regions of the Balkans, where it has adapted to diverse natural conditions. It tolerates direct sun exceptionally well but also thrives in partial shade or full shade, where other plants might fail. It likes well-drained loamy or sandy soil and average watering. From the supplied rooted seedling, it will quickly grow into a compact plant about thirty centimeters tall. When planted thirty to forty centimeters apart, it will soon form a dense cover. The striking yellow flowers are full of pollinators and bees throughout the summer. It does not offer flowers suitable for vases, so its primary role lies in perennial plantings and as a groundcover under shrubs. It does not need support, you don't need to worry about pests, and it reliably resists frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees Celsius. Sometimes rust can appear on the leaves. It also creates an attractive winter effect in the garden. Because it is a poisonous plant, caution is advised if you share your garden with pets.

Helleborus orientalis
Hellebore Double Ellen White
Hellebores are evergreen perennials that form slowly spreading clumps of leathery, dark green leaves. The stems usually bear four to five flowers. They bloom very early, as early as late winter and early spring. They are usable for vases only after conspicuous seed pods form in the center of the flower and the flower matures. Earlier, they tend to wilt and the stems cannot hold the flower in an upright position. All parts of the plant are poisonous. Double Ellen White is an almost pure white, double-flowered hellebore. The petals are slightly wavy and the bottom row of petals is lightly tinged with green.

Helianthemum hybrida
Rock rose Supreme
Cherry-red flowers and dark green leaves make the Rock rose 'Supreme' (Helianthemum hybrida) an unmissable element of every garden. The roughly twenty-centimeter subshrub blooms tirelessly from May to July, bringing with it the atmosphere of sun-drenched meadows.

The Rock rose thrives in conditions similar to its natural environment on sun-warmed rocky slopes. Sufficient heat, direct sun, and lean, well-drained sandy soil are essential for it. Thanks to the rooted potted seedling you will receive from us, planting directly in its permanent location is very easy. The plant stands out for its high resistance to common diseases and pests and reliably handles frosts down to -23 °C. It holds its shape even in winter, so no empty space remains afterward. It is excellent for gravel areas, path borders, and among other drought-tolerant perennials.

Acaena microphylla
Creeping wire vine
Brass buttons is an inconspicuous but very reliable ground cover perennial that comes from the harsher mountainous and rocky areas of New Zealand. Thanks to its origin, it is used to both sun and partial shade and thrives very well in well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil with regular watering. You will receive an already grown seedling in a pot from us, which just needs to be transplanted to the selected spot in the garden. There it will very quickly form a dense carpet reaching a height of only five to ten centimeters. It is decorated with tiny, toothed leaves that transition from green to attractive bronze shades. During summer, from June to August, unconventional white-green spherical flowers appear. Although brass buttons is not at all suitable for cutting into a vase or for drying in dry arrangements, its main strength lies in its practical garden use. It will serve excellently as undergrowth beneath taller shrubs, in rockeries, or for edging flower beds. Even absolute beginners can handle caring for it, because it does not suffer from diseases or pests and easily survives frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. Moreover, it retains its charm even in the cold months and will ensure an interesting winter effect on every flower bed.

Viola odorata
Sweet violet Royal Wedding
Sweet violet Royal Wedding is a messenger of spring that will perfume the shady corners of your garden with an unmistakable sweet scent. This tiny but hardy perennial naturally grows in the deciduous forests and groves of Europe, where it forms dense carpets in the spring. In the garden, it will thrive best in partial shade or shade, ideally under the canopies of trees or shrubs, where it has plenty of moisture and humus-rich, well-draining soil. Thanks to its low maintenance and extreme frost resistance, it is a great choice even for beginner growers who want to liven up darker corners of their property and create a natural ground cover.
The Royal Wedding cultivar enchants with pure white flowers that contrast beautifully with the deep green, heart-shaped leaves. The plant spreads by runners and over time creates a continuous, fresh green cover. The flowers are edible and can serve as an elegant decoration for desserts, salads, or can be candied. Even though they are tiny, they are suitable for cutting into miniature vases, where their fragrance stands out best. The violet is also a valuable early food source for bees and other pollinators waking up after winter.

Helianthemum hybrida
Rock rose Sulphureum Plenum
Rock rose Sulphureum Plenum is literally a sun lover that will brighten up any rockery or dry wall. The original species of these low subshrubs are found on sunny and rocky hillsides, which is why even in the garden they require well-drained, poorer, and rather sandy soil where water does not sit. From May to July, the plant is covered with a flood of tiny double flowers in a pastel yellow shade, resembling miniature roses in shape. Thanks to its low and creeping growth, it is perfectly suited for edging flower beds or filling joints between stones. A great advantage is the winter effect, where the plant retains its fresh green foliage, so the flower bed does not remain empty even under the snow. To help this rock rose maintain its compact and dense shape, we recommend trimming it after flowering. It is fully frost-hardy and attracts a large number of pollinators.

Filipendula vulgaris
Meadowsweet Plena
Dropwort 'Plena' is a drought-tolerant native perennial that naturally handles even very dry habitats thanks to its tuberously thickened roots. It forms basal rosettes of finely divided leaves that resemble ferns and decorate the flower bed even when the plant is not currently in bloom. Floristically valuable are its fragrant milky-white inflorescences, which tower at the tops of the stems in June and July. Interesting are the buds themselves, looking like tiny pearls, as well as the post-bloom stage in the form of small stars. In a vase, they last about a week and perfectly complement meadow bouquets. The 'Plena' variety boasts flowers that are significantly richer and more double than the basic species, while maintaining its natural hardiness and undemanding nature.

Brunnera sibirica
Siberian Bugloss
Siberian bugloss is a hardy perennial that is unfazed even by the shady corners of the garden where other plants fail to thrive. It earned its name thanks to its tiny blue flowers, which are very similar to classic forget-me-nots and bloom in April and May. Unlike its more famous relative, the largeleaf bugloss, this species spreads a bit more vigorously and forms dense stands. Thanks to its underground rhizomes, it works as a great groundcover plant that reliably suppresses weeds under trees or shrubs. Once the plant finishes blooming, all its energy moves into the large, deep green heart-shaped leaves, which quickly grow to their final size. It is an ideal choice for beginners because it handles heavier clay soils excellently and tolerates short-term drought. Furthermore, the flowers are suitable for cutting into spring tied bouquets, where they look very tender and add lightness to the arrangement.

Caryopteris clandonensis
Bluebeard Dark Knight
Bluebeard Dark Knight brings a deep blue color to the garden just as most summer perennials are slowly finishing their bloom. This deciduous subshrub, created by crossing species native to East Asia, loves full sun and well-draining, even sandy soil. It tolerates drought and scorching heat excellently, so it is suitable for gravel beds or sunny slopes. The entire plant is strongly aromatic and when the leaves are rubbed, it releases a spicy scent reminiscent of resin and lavender. The Dark Knight cultivar stands out with particularly dark, indigo-purple flowers that create a beautiful contrast with the silvery-green leaves. Thanks to its late blooming time in August and September, it acts as a significant magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with valuable food before the approaching winter. It is advisable to leave the faded inflorescences on the plant over the winter, not only for their ornamental effect but also as root protection; the cutback is performed only in the spring. The sturdy stems with flowers can also be used for cutting into fresh bouquets, where they stay fresh for several days.

Fragaria vesca
Wild Strawberry
Wild strawberry brings to the garden the charm of forest clearings and sunny glades, where it naturally occurs across all of Europe and northern Asia. This tiny but hardy herb is valued primarily for its incredibly aromatic fruits, which, although they cannot compete with cultivated garden strawberries in size, 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 adorned with tiny, pure white flowers that are an irresistible attraction for bees and other pollinators. Thanks to its low maintenance and frost resistance down to -35 °C, it is an ideal choice even for beginner growers.
In the garden, wild strawberry perfectly fulfills the function of a groundcover perennial that spreads quickly via long above-ground runners and can effectively suppress weeds. It does best in sun or partial shade, where it has access to humous 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 an 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 at your home.

Pulmonaria officinalis
Common lungwort
Pulmonaria officinalis, better known as common lungwort, is a rewarding perennial that has held its place in gardens for centuries, not only for its beauty but also for its historical use in medicine. The Latin name refers to its spotted leaves, which reminded medieval herbalists of human lungs. Today, we appreciate it primarily as a reliable plant for shady and semi-shady areas where other species do not thrive well. It blooms in March and April with a flood of tiny flowers, and you can often observe pink, purple, and blue flowers simultaneously on a single plant. This play of colors beautifully contrasts with the fresh green leaves. Lungwort loves humus-rich, loamy soil with plenty of moisture, but once established, it is very hardy. It is perfectly suited for natural and woodland gardens as an underplanting for deciduous trees. Although it is not very suitable for cutting into a vase, it will do a tremendous service in the flowerbed by attracting the first hungry pollinators early in the spring. The plant spreads easily and can also self-seed, gradually filling empty spaces in the beds.

From July to September, it is covered in tiny flowers that act as a huge lure for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In addition, the whole plant smells pleasantly, and its leaves and flowers are edible.

Rock rose Bronzeteppich is the unassuming hero of rockeries and dry walls, which literally lights up in full sun. The original botanical species of these subshrubs can be found on sunny and rocky hillsides, where they can cope even with very poor and well-drained soil. Exactly thanks to this origin, the rock rose is exceptionally resistant to drought and loves the sun's rays, which awaken a flood of its tiny flowers. In the garden, it functions as a great ground cover element that decorates flower beds with its evergreen leaves even in the winter months when most perennials rest underground.

It blooms gradually from May to July, becoming an irresistible attraction for bees and other pollinators, who find a rich source of food in its flowers. It grows only to a height of about twenty centimeters, so it is perfectly suited for the edges of flower beds or rockeries, where it fills the empty spaces between stones. Although it is not suitable for cutting into a vase or drying, its value in a living garden is irreplaceable.

Cultivation
St. John's wort (Hypericum calycinum) is an extremely adaptable subshrub with which even absolute beginners will achieve great results. Since we will supply you with an already well-rooted seedling, you can immediately start planting in its permanent location. It can handle almost any light conditions – from hot sunny spots to partial shade, and even cool shaded places under tree canopies where other greenery does not thrive. For successful growth, provide it with permeable, loamy, or sandy soil. If you have soil that is too heavy in your garden, we recommend improving it with sand or fine gravel before planting. Plant the seedlings thirty to forty centimeters apart, which corresponds to roughly five to eight plants per square meter. Thanks to this spacing, the growth will quickly join up to create a dense, ground-covering carpet that leaves no chance for weeds.
As for watering, St. John's wort requires average and regular moisture. Immediately after planting and during the first few weeks, ensure the soil does not dry out before the plant is properly rooted. Later, it will usually manage on its own with normal rainfall, although it will appreciate watering during periods of long summer heat. You can also grow this plant with great success in containers or spacious window boxes on the terrace. When growing in a pot, do not forget a high-quality drainage layer at the bottom and a drainage hole, because the plant does not tolerate waterlogging. The substrate in a container dries out faster than open soil, so water more frequently. In the spring, it is advisable to support the St. John's wort by adding mature compost or a regular multi-component fertilizer, which will ensure a rich crop of striking golden flowers. From July to September, these will attract a number of bees and other useful pollinators.
During the season, St. John's wort requires no complex care or support, as it maintains a compact height of around twenty to forty centimeters. It excels in high frost resistance and handles temperatures down to minus twenty-three degrees without problems. In the flowerbed, it also leaves a very attractive winter effect, so it will decorate your garden even in cold months. In the spring, we recommend performing a radical cutback, where you prune the subshrub just above the ground. This step rejuvenates the plant, promotes denser growth, and acts as excellent prevention against rust, which can sometimes appear on green leaves. You do not have to worry about other diseases or pests; it is naturally resistant to them. However, when planning the planting, keep one important fact in mind – the entire plant is poisonous. So, if you share your garden with pets, choose a place where it will not be tempting for them to nibble on.
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.

St. John's wort bred for floristic use. It blooms with smaller yellow flowers, but the essential part comes only after them: spherical, slightly pointed fruits that hold well on the plant. They are neither poisonous nor edible; their use is purely decorative. St. John's wort often blooms again immediately after the ripening of the first wave of fruits, so we can find flowers and fruits on one bush at the same time. It lasts two weeks in a vase. The round fruits of the cultivar Magical Universe are dark burgundy to black in color. Even the leaves and stems have a slight burgundy tinge.

Hypericum perforatum
St. John's Wort
The golden-yellow flood of flowers of St. John's wort inherently belongs to the Czech summer and the rural landscape. This undemanding perennial naturally inhabits sunny hillsides, balks, and drier meadows, making it an ideal candidate for gardens with minimal watering and care requirements. It grows up to 70 cm tall and forms upright, richly branched clumps that are literally covered in tiny, radiant flowers with conspicuous stamens in midsummer. It is an excellent choice for beginner growers, as it will forgive even poorer and well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. In addition to its ornamental value, St. John's wort is a significant honey-bearing plant that will attract useful pollinators to the garden. It also applies great in floristry; it stays fresh in a vase making you happy for several days, but even more often it is dried for winter decorations and medicinal tea blends.

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.

The cultivar Caradonna stands out with a long flowering period and dark, almost black-purple stems with tiny purple flowers and dark purple bracts. If we cut it back after flowering, it will bloom again in late August and September.

Perovskia atriplicifolia
Russian Sage
Russian sage reliably brings a touch of sunny steppes into the garden and places almost no demands on care. These sparsely branched subshrubs originally come from harsh, rocky areas from Afghanistan to Tibet, where they grow on open sun-drenched plains.

From July to October, it blooms with tiny blue-purple flowers that act as a lure for bees and butterflies and are even edible. Russian sage stands out next to drought-tolerant perennials. The flowers are suitable for cutting and drying for winter arrangements. Moreover, the silvery stems will ensure a beautiful winter effect in the flower bed.

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.

Calamintha nepeta

Its original homeland is the sunny and dry slopes of Southern Europe, which is why it thrives best here in direct sun in well-drained, sandy, or poorer loamy soil. It handles winter without problems, tolerating frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flowerbed, where it will very soon form a compact, airy small shrub reaching a height of up to forty centimeters. It does not suffer from any diseases or pests, so even complete beginners can easily handle caring for it. Throughout late summer and into autumn, it blooms with a record number of tiny blue flowers that are so typical of the Blue Cloud variety. The whole plant emits a pleasant minty-spicy scent, and its flowers, which resemble thyme, act as a literal magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. It will look great among roses or in naturally designed steppe flowerbeds, where it naturally complements lower ornamental grasses. Additionally, both the blue flowers and green leaves are edible, so you can use them to garnish summer dishes. Lesser calamint is also excellently suited for cutting into smaller fresh bouquets, adding a fine structure to them in a vase.

Gaura Summer Breeze
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. You will receive from us an already grown seedling in a pot, which will quickly form a vigorous clump after being transplanted into the garden. From early summer until late autumn, it will delight you with a flood of tiny flowers in pure white and delicate pink tones. The flowers gently sway in the breeze and with their appearance resemble a flock of tiny butterflies, which also really like to land on the plant, as do bees and bumblebees. Although gaura is known as a short-lived perennial, thanks to its willing self-seeding, it will last for many years in your garden. Caring for it is completely undemanding, it is avoided by most diseases and pests, and it can handle frosts down to eighteen degrees below zero without any problems. It is often used in mixed borders, where it beautifully softens the overall impression, and perfectly matches various types of ornamental grasses. The Summer Breeze variety is popular for its strong and healthy growth as well as its exceptionally generous set of flowers, which grow to about one meter. If you like to create your own bouquets, do not hesitate to cut gaura for a vase. Harvesting is best done the moment the first small flowers on the stem begin to open.
