China aster Matsumoto Apricot
Matsumoto is a reliable China aster that we would put our hand in the fire for. In our beds, it is the shortest compared to other China asters (50 to 60 cm), but if you put in the work and create the most ideal conditions, it can reach up to 80 cm. For us, the size of the flowers is a total win; they are smaller than other China asters and fit perfectly into all the products we arrange for weddings. And on top of all that, Matsumoto Apricot is a gorgeous and trendy shade!
One plant produces up to 7 flowers.

Sunflower ProCut White Lite
Sunflower comes from the sunny plains of North America and is an inseparable part of our gardens as a symbol of summer. The 'ProCut White Lite' variety brings a pleasant refreshment to the yellow assortment in the form of creamy light yellow flowers with an attractive greenish-yellow center. This is a reliable single-stem annual from a professional series bred specifically for floral purposes. It does not produce pollen, so you can use it in interior decorations without worrying about allergies. In the garden, it grows to a height of eighty to one hundred and twenty centimeters. The path to your own flowers begins with seeds, which are easy to work with and provide quick results. Ideally, start the sunflower seeds by pre-growing them in the warmth for one to two weeks. Covered seeds will germinate in five to ten days. Then, transplant them into sun or partial shade. You can repeat sowings from April to August, which will cause them to bloom gradually from July to autumn. Do not pinch the plants, but provide support for straight stems. Fresh flowers last a long time in a vase and will delight lovers of clean bouquets.

Cosmos 'Apricot Lemonade' brings a novel palette of colors to summer gardens and is easy to grow from seed, even if you are a complete beginner. While these annuals were previously known mostly in white and pink, this cultivar surprises with delicate pastel tones of peach, yellow, and powder pink. It won us over immediately and has become an indispensable part of our flower plantings. The plant forms dense clumps with typical linear leaves and grows quite tall, so it benefits from support in the flower bed. From early summer until October, it is covered in a profusion of gentle flowers that soften every space and provide food for beneficial pollinators. If you like creating your own bouquets, you will be thrilled, as they look absolutely magical in a vase. The ideal time for sowing begins in April with indoor starting, or you can sow directly in a sunny spot from May to July.

Zinnia Cresto Peachy Pink
Zinnia 'Cresto Peachy Pink' brings a refreshing palette of colors full of cool tones to summer flower beds. Growing this charming annual from seeds is ideal even for complete beginners. The seeds are sown directly into the flower bed during May and June, as soon as the danger of frost has passed. The 'Cresto' series is characterized by fully double, scabiosa-flowered types that catch the eye with their unconventional shape and fluffy centers. Compared to the 'Peaches & Cream' variety, this variant offers cooler shades of pink, from pastel to deep bubblegum, with delicate touches of tangerine and apricot. The plants grow to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, and occasional pinching will benefit them with richer branching. In the garden, they form beautiful combinations with delicate ornamental grasses or other annuals in similar tones. Zinnia also acts as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Long, sturdy stems, which sometimes benefit from light support, make this flower the perfect material for cutting. The colorful flowers last for many days in a vase and will enliven any summer interior.

Cultivation
ÚVOD
Astry začínají kvést s krátkými dny. Od konce června se začínají zkracovat dny, astry tedy nejkrásněji pokvetou ke konci července, v srpnu a v září. Proto jsou astry spojené s plným létem a podzimem
Ideální je tedy astry vysít v dubnu a po posledních mrazech (polovina května) přesadit sazeničky aster ven do záhonů, ke konci léta sklidíte první květy.
VÝSEV
Astry doporučujeme předpěstovávat, přímý výsev do záhonu nebude fungovat.
Vysejte 1 semeno do buňky sadbovače. Sejeme na povrch substrátu a zasypejte vrstvou vermikulitu. Vermikulit pomůže udržet dostatečnou vlhkost ke klíčení semen, ale zároveň propustí světlo, které je u aster potřebné ke klíčení.
Dokud nevzejdou první klíčky je nutné zalévat pouze spodem, kdy vložíte sadbovač do misky s vodou a necháte vodu vzlínat. Můžete zalívat i vrchem, jen používejte to nejjemnější rosení (mlžení), jinak spláchnete vysetá semínka.
Astry potřebují ke klíčení relativně vysokou teplotu 20 - 22 °C. Semínka vyklíčí zhruba za 7 - 10 dní a v sadbovači stráví 4 - 5 týdnů, než dorostou v pořádné sazeničky.
Doporučujeme astry nedržet moc dlouho v sadbovači, ani je nepřesazovat do květináčků, nejlepší výsledek získáte, pokud astry přesadíte ze sadbovače rovnou do záhonu.
PĚSTOVÁNÍ
I když sazeničky aster zvládnou mrazíky (- 6 °C), je zbytečné pospíchat a bohatě stačí, když astry vysejte v průběhu dubna a přesadíte po posledních mrazech ven.
Astry nezaštipujeme, budou se vám přirozeně větvit. Astry se pěstují poměrně na husto, sázíme je tedy ve sponu 12 × 12 cm.
Daří se jim v humózní půdě, před sázením můžete do záhonů zapravit vyzrálý kompost. Vyberte pro ně slunné stanoviště.
Pozor, nepěstujte astry na stejném místě jako minulý rok. Vždy se snažte pro astry najít nové stanoviště a na původní místo se vrátit až za 2 - 3 roky.
CHOROBY
Astry nejčastěji trpí na fusariové vadnutí, proto doporučujeme buď (1) vybrat astry, které jsou rezistentní, jako je např. Matsumoto White, Matsumoto Pink, či Matsumoto Apricot, nebo (2) vždy se snažit astry sázet na nové místo a na původní se vrátit až za 2 - 3 roky.
OPORA
Pokud jste profesionál a pěstujete astry k řezu, doporučujeme oporu, resp. síť, kterou budou astry prorůstat. Bez opory se totiž jinak může stát, že stonky budou zahnuté a jinak pokroucené. Pro krásně rovné stonky je síť nutností.

The blue cornflower is an absolute classic of our fields and meadows, which probably needs no lengthy introduction. However, the 'Tall Double Blue Boy' variety brings something extra. Compared to its wild relatives that we see along roads, it boasts rich flowers in an unmistakable, deep blue shade, sometimes with a purple tone. You can hardly imagine anything more meadow-like. Thanks to its strong stems growing up to eighty centimeters tall, this annual is perfectly suited for cutting, adding true rustic charm to bouquets. But its use doesn't end in the vase. The flowers keep their fantastic color even after drying!
At weddings, we loved using them in flower crowns and corsages, where they have excellent stamina!

Cornflower Tall Double Red Boy
Everyone knows classic field cornflowers, but the 'Tall Double Red Boy' variety brings a completely different spectacle to the garden. It is a very unusual shade of deep raspberry, which we fell in love with immediately after one plant accidentally bloomed among our blue cornflowers last year. The richly double flowers measure approximately four centimeters in diameter and grow on stems up to eighty centimeters tall. The silvery gray-green foliage gives the whole composition a delicate look that beautifully softens the surrounding planting. The raspberry cornflower stands out best in natural-looking flower beds, where it pairs perfectly with ornamental grasses, daisies, or white-flowering annuals. Throughout the summer, it serves as a plentiful feast for bees and bumblebees. Lovers of fresh arrangements love using it in colorful summer bouquets, where its unconventional color immediately catches everyone's eye. It works just as well for drying into dry decorations that will remind you of warm days even during the cold months. Moreover, it is a plant with edible flowers, which you can easily use to decorate festive cakes or summer drinks.

The flowers act as a reliable attractant for bees and bumblebees. Nigella is a spring beauty, but its seed pods are also great for harvesting, meaning it will last in the garden well into summer. These original, inflated seed pods are a sought-after material for florists. Fresh flowering stems beautifully liven up summer bouquets in a vase, while the dried pods perfectly complement autumn decorations, as they retain their shape for a long time.

Zinnia elegans
Zinnia Cresto Peachy Pink
Zinnia 'Cresto Peachy Pink' brings a refreshing palette of colors full of cool tones to summer flower beds. Growing this charming annual from seeds is ideal even for complete beginners. The seeds are sown directly into the flower bed during May and June, as soon as the danger of frost has passed. The 'Cresto' series is characterized by fully double, scabiosa-flowered types that catch the eye with their unconventional shape and fluffy centers. Compared to the 'Peaches & Cream' variety, this variant offers cooler shades of pink, from pastel to deep bubblegum, with delicate touches of tangerine and apricot. The plants grow to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, and occasional pinching will benefit them with richer branching. In the garden, they form beautiful combinations with delicate ornamental grasses or other annuals in similar tones. Zinnia also acts as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Long, sturdy stems, which sometimes benefit from light support, make this flower the perfect material for cutting. The colorful flowers last for many days in a vase and will enliven any summer interior.

Helianthus annuus
Sunflower ProCut White Lite
Sunflower comes from the sunny plains of North America and is an inseparable part of our gardens as a symbol of summer. The 'ProCut White Lite' variety brings a pleasant refreshment to the yellow assortment in the form of creamy light yellow flowers with an attractive greenish-yellow center. This is a reliable single-stem annual from a professional series bred specifically for floral purposes. It does not produce pollen, so you can use it in interior decorations without worrying about allergies. In the garden, it grows to a height of eighty to one hundred and twenty centimeters. The path to your own flowers begins with seeds, which are easy to work with and provide quick results. Ideally, start the sunflower seeds by pre-growing them in the warmth for one to two weeks. Covered seeds will germinate in five to ten days. Then, transplant them into sun or partial shade. You can repeat sowings from April to August, which will cause them to bloom gradually from July to autumn. Do not pinch the plants, but provide support for straight stems. Fresh flowers last a long time in a vase and will delight lovers of clean bouquets.

Centaurea cyanus
Cornflower Tall Double Black Boy
It is hard to imagine anything more rustic. The 'Tall Double Black Boy' variety is a much fuller-flowered Cornflower than the one we commonly see along roadsides and hedgerows. It is a truly extraordinary piece, with a color that transitions from dark burgundy and plum to almost black. It grows to a height of sixty to eighty centimeters, so it appreciates support in the flower bed to prevent its thin stems from breaking. Seeds from spring or autumn sowings germinate very readily within five to ten days. It is best to sow them directly in a sunny or semi-shaded location. The flowers appear in the summer months from June to August and become a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. You will appreciate the Cornflower in naturalistic gardens alongside other annuals. It is absolutely great for cutting into vases, and its flowers also retain their shape and color when dried. If you like trying new things in the kitchen, you will be pleased to know that these dark flowers are edible and will beautifully brighten up summer salads or desserts.
