Ceratostigma plumbaginoides

Plumbago

Leadwort is an excellent and very hardy ground-cover perennial that originally comes from regions of western China, where it commonly grows on sunny to semi-shaded rocky slopes. You will receive a mature plant in a pot from us, which you can simply transplant directly into your garden. With a height of twenty to twenty-five centimeters, it will quickly become an unobtrusive but very hardworking inhabitant of your beds. It thrives best in well-drained loamy or sandy soil with regular watering. The real color show begins at the end of summer. From August to October, the plant is richly covered in a flood of tiny flowers in vibrant shades of royal and azure blue that attract bees and other pollinators. The originally green leaves simultaneously gradually change their color to deep red and burgundy. In the garden, it serves as a perfect underplanting for taller shrubs. It is not suitable for cutting for a vase or for drying, but it does not require support, is avoided by pests, and reliably withstands frosts down to minus twenty-five degrees. Show full description

Rock rose Supreme, Loukykvět

Helianthemum hybrida

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. Although the delicate flowers cannot be dried or cut for a vase, they fully compensate for this in the garden. They intensely attract pollinators and are completely edible, so you can use them to liven up dishes in the kitchen. 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.

Rock rose The Bride, Loukykvět

Helianthemum hybrida

Rock rose The Bride is an ideal choice for sun-drenched and dry spots in your garden where other plants would struggle. This evergreen subshrub is characterized by its creeping growth and tiny, silvery-gray leaves that retain their attractiveness even in winter, providing a year-round effect. In nature, rock roses inhabit rocky slopes and dry meadows, which is why even in the garden they require well-drained, poorer, and rather sandy soil in full sun. They handle summer droughts without problems and are rewarding residents of rockeries, dry stone walls, or the edges of perennial beds, where they form dense carpets. From May to July, the plant literally cloaks itself in a flood of pure white flowers with a yellow center, attracting numerous bees and other pollinators. The Bride cultivar stands out precisely for the elegant contrast of snow-white flowers and silvery foliage. Although the flowers are not suitable for cutting into a vase, they put on a great show in their habitat and brighten up every corner. To maintain its compact, cushion-like shape and abundant flowering in subsequent years, we recommend trimming the plant after it finishes blooming, which will boost its vitality.

Calamint Blue Cloud, Loukykvět

Calamintha nepeta

Lesser calamint Blue Cloud is an undemanding and modest perennial that reliably perfumes any sunny garden. 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.

New

Scilla siberica

Scilla bifolia 'Rosea' is a beautiful and low-maintenance bulbous plant that will reliably bring fresh colors to your flower beds after a long winter.

You can safely plant it directly into the lawn, where it will gradually spread until it eventually creates a continuous pink carpet. Once the flowers open, they become a great attraction for the first spring pollinators, providing them with much-needed food. It requires no complex care and will bring you joy for many years in a suitable spot.

Once it gets used to your flowerbed, it does not require any complex care and effortlessly handles even harsher winter frosts dropping down to minus twenty-three degrees. Although it is classified as a short-lived perennial, its exceptionally abundant and persistent blooming will completely make up for it during the season.

The whole plant gives a very elegant impression and grows to a height of around sixty to eighty centimeters. In the flowerbed, it looks great in larger groups, planted about half a meter apart, and gets along excellently with ornamental grasses or other drought-tolerant species. Moreover, it blooms continuously throughout the summer and acts as a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with a generous pasture. A healthy clump will quickly grow from the supplied grown seedling in a pot. Fortunately, the plant does not suffer from pests or diseases at all, so even complete beginners can manage growing it.

Anemone September Charm, Loukykvět

Anemone

Autumn anemones are an indispensable part of perennial beds because they take over the flowering baton at a time when most summer species are already fading and the garden begins to take on autumn tones.

Cultivation

Tato nenáročná trvalka dosahuje výšky dvaceti až pětadvaceti centimetrů a nejlépe se jí daří na slunném stanovišti nebo v lehkém polostínu. Právě dostatek slunečních paprsků zajistí nejbohatší kvetení a intenzivní podzimní zbarvení listů do vínových a sytě červených odstínů. Půda by měla být především dobře propustná, ideálně hlinitá nebo písčitá. Těžkým a přemokřeným jílovitým půdám se raději vyhněte. Pro vytvoření souvislého půdopokryvného koberce dodržujte spon třicet centimetrů, což odpovídá zhruba dvanácti až třinácti rostlinám na metr čtvereční.
Zálivku udržujte běžnou a středně vydatnou. Olověnec má rád vlhčí půdu, ale nesnáší trvalé zamokření. Po výsadbě dopřejte sazenici pravidelný přísun vody, aby dobře zakořenila, starší rostliny si již s běžnými výkyvy počasí poradí mnohem lépe. Rostlina nevyžaduje žádné speciální hnojení, na jaře jí postačí přidat trochu uleželého kompostu. V průběhu sezóny oceníte, že jde o dlouhověkou rostlinu zcela bez škůdců a chorob, takže se vyhnete jakémukoliv chemickému ošetřování. Během srpna až října navíc svými královsky a azurově modrými květy spolehlivě přitahuje včely a další užitečné opylovače.
S příchodem zimy olověnec nevyžaduje žádnou mimořádnou péči. Jde o mimořádně odolnou trvalku, která bez potíží snáší mrazy až do minus pětadvaceti stupňů (zóna 5b).
  • Na podzim rostlina zatahuje a ztrácí nadzemní část.
  • Zaschlé výhony ponechte přes zimu na záhoně, poslouží jako přirozená ochrana proti holomrazům.
  • Před příchodem jara proveďte zpětný řez a odumřelé stonky seřízněte těsně nad zemí, čímž podpoříte vitální růst nových výhonů.
Zákazníci se často ptají, zda lze olověnec pěstovat i v nádobách. Odpověď zní ano, je to vynikající volba pro větší květináče a truhlíky na slunné terasy. Při pěstování v nádobě nezapomeňte na kvalitní drenážní vrstvu na dně a odtokový otvor. Použijte propustný substrát vylehčený pískem. U rostlin v květináči pouze pamatujte na to, že substrát vysychá rychleji než volná půda na zahradě, proto zálivku kontrolujte o něco častěji.

Lady's mantle Irish Silk, Loukykvět

Alchemilla mollis

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.

Woodland Sage Caradonna, Loukykvět

Salvia nemorosa

This species of sage originally comes from the steppe regions of Central and Eastern Europe. It forms profusely flowering small clumps with straight upright stems.

However, it will look just as good in mixed drought-loving steppe plantings with grasses. It lasts 7 days in a vase. 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.

Gaura lindheimeri

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.

Sea Holly, Loukykvět
For drying

Eryngium planum

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.

It is literally a magnetic plant for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, who find a rich food source on it.

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.
