Cornflower Classic Magic

A garden classic, and Cornflowers of the Classic series are real troopers! Strong, straight stems ensure excellent cut flower quality. And the Classic Fantastic color combination reminds us of traditional Czech blueprint fabric. Shades transition from sky blue to the darkest blue. Flower centers are colored differently than the edges.

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! The petals are edible. They serve perfectly as an original garnish for summer salads, desserts, or festive cakes. Moreover, in the garden, it functions as a reliable magnet for bees and bumblebees, who simply go crazy for its nectar.

A classic among Nigellas, a shade of deep sky blue. Nigella is a spring beauty, but its pods are also great for harvesting, so it lasts in the flowerbed until summer.

Shades of raspberry, compote, and sugared white. A big favorite of ours! Cornflower is a garden classic, and Cornflowers of the Classic series are real troopers! Strong, straight stems ensure excellent cut flower quality.

A muted, slightly ashy white. Nigella is a spring beauty, but its pods are also great for harvesting, so it lasts in the flowerbed until summer.

Cosmos are one of the most popular flowers on our farm. They resemble Daisies and customers love them. And now imagine that such a hit comes in a double-flowered version! Absolutely magnificent! A flood of flowers resembling cotton candy; the Bicolor pink variant is full of soft pink shades. Some blooms are cool pink and others are in a warm blush color. One plant produces at least 12 stems.

Cosmos is among the most used items on our farm and Sea Shells have been with us from the start. It is a mix of colors, pink and white, which isn't anything special, but those shapes! The petals are fused into a tube, resulting in a very unique look!

Černucha damašská pochází z oblasti Středozemí a severní Afriky a v našich zahradách zdomácněla už před staletími. Kultivar Miss Jekyll Rose přináší romantickou náladu díky svým netradičním květům v odstínech malinové, fuchsiové a čistě bílé barvy. Jemně stříhané listy připomínají kopr a dodávají celé rostlině úžasně vzdušný vzhled. Tato nenáročná letnička dorůstá výšky padesát až sto centimetrů a na záhonu vytváří husté porosty. Nejlépe se jí daří na slunci nebo v polostínu s běžnou zálivkou. Z výsevů přímo na záhon během jarních měsíců nebo na sklonku léta vyroste spolehlivě a brzy vás potěší záplavou květů, které kvetou od května do srpna. Černucha je naprosto ideální k řezu do letních kytic, kde její plné květy vydrží svěží mnoho dní. Skvělou službu udělá i po odkvětu. Její nafouklé měchýřkovité semeníky s vínovým pruhováním jsou vysoce ceněné pro sušení do zimních aranžmá. Stačí je ustřihnout a zavěsit hlavičkou dolů. Květy jsou navíc plné nektaru a pravidelně na ně usedají včely a další užiteční opylovači.

Specially bred varieties suitable for cutting: these are the sunflowers of the PROCUT series. They are reliable, single-stemmed varieties. They are pollen-free, which every florist will appreciate. White Lite is a pale yellow variety with a green-yellow center.

You can't imagine anything more meadow-like! It is a terrible shame that it can only be grown at lower temperatures. The Tall Double series is a fuller-flowered Cornflower than the one we see along the roadsides. And Black Boy is a truly unique specimen. The color is dark burgundy to black.

An interesting name and an unusual flower resembling baby's breath. The rich blooms on the stems invite you to divide them into several smaller vases to decorate a windowsill. It finishes blooming quickly, so we recommend succession planting. You will harvest 3-4 stems from a single plant.

Cosmos belongs among the most used items on our farm. And Rubenza is one of the most beautiful. Warm burgundy color, the petals have a brush-stroke texture on the underside. It is a color that is currently trendy in wedding floristry, so we never have any left in the flower bed. One plant produces at least 12 stems.

Pure splendor! Thin, sturdy stems with umbel inflorescences resembling dill at their ends. On each stem, there are thousands of tiny blooms creating the effect of a veil or lace. This is a mix of colors, where some flowers are pure white, while most are chocolate to burgundy with a touch of white, sometimes even pink.

For drying, we harvest mature poppy heads, roughly from mid-July. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, away from sunlight.

The largest and most luxurious flower in the entire Tall Double Cornflower family. The blooms are full with plenty of tiny florets, appearing fluffy, like a feather.

Delicate white lace. Didiscus has a peculiar name, but it is a real beauty, similar to Ammi or ornamental carrot. The blooms are disc-shaped with tiny florets. Didiscus finishes blooming relatively quickly, much like Ammi or ornamental carrot, so we recommend succession sowing. It likes warmth, so it can even be sown in summer.

A novelty in the Cornflower family. One of these little plants bloomed by mistake in a bed of blue Cornflowers last year, and we immediately started looking for it to grow. It is a very unusual shade of deep raspberry.

Larkspurs are spring beauties that nothing compares to. However, if you want to harvest them for cut flowers, you must be vigilant and harvest quickly before all the buds open. They finish blooming quickly, especially during the warm springs of recent years, so we sow several batches 14 days apart just to keep up with the harvest. Larkspur QIS White is a soft white that fits beautifully into wedding floristry. You harvest one stronger stem and 4-5 smaller side stems from a single plant.

Cosmos are an absolute classic and a matter of the heart for us! In the past, we cut them by hundreds of stems on the farm and our customers, especially brides, literally loved them for their lightness and elegance. While common cosmos mainly offer a white and deep pink palette, 'Apricotta' brings a completely new and fresh color tone to the flowerbeds. It is a unique combination of light pink and the lightest salmon, which looks incredibly tender and original. The flowers have a silky appearance and gently sway in the wind, which adds pleasant dynamics to the garden.

Statice is a classic from grandma's garden, but also an evergreen of dried flowers. We grow statice by the hundreds! It is incredibly useful in bouquets as filler material and even undried lasts a long time in a vase. Once all the florets on the stem bloom, statice no longer wilts and is suitable for wreaths, corsages, boutonnieres. QIS Pastel is a beautiful sample of colors in tones of blue, violet, lavender and pink. One plant produces at least 15 stems. For drying, we harvest statice at the stage when the stem under the flower is firm and the entire inflorescence has bloomed. Just hang them upside down, in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.

Our favorite foliage and filler. It grows beautifully and binds famously! The flowers are yellowish, so they don't color-match every bouquet, but we still never have enough of it! And after flowering, tiny seed pods form which are also beautifully decorative and don't wilt; we love collecting those too.

The best-selling cut Zinnia ever! But the main thing is the color! Antique wine fading into antique pink. The Queen Lime series is our favorite Zinnia; it's love at first sight! The flowers are large, up to 10 cm, surrounded by many petals, giving a double-flowered appearance. Moving towards the center, the petals get smaller and end up unopened at the center, creating a frosted cupcake effect. No other Zinnia compares!

Cosmos are our favorites, but we missed some color variety with them. They used to be available only in white and pink. Now, finally, a piece in shades of pink-orange-yellow-peach. We just have to have this one.

A Poppy with black centers, similar to anemones. In terms of color, it is a mix of marbled shades ranging from white through red and pink to burgundy. We have been growing poppies since the early days of Loukykvět, and this year we are returning to them. The Poppy needs more care as a cut flower and does not last as long in a vase. But! It is such a beauty that it is worth it anyway. Here is our guide for poppies. We harvest buds that have just cracked open. It is enough if you see a crack on the bud and the color inside. The Poppy has only a few petals, so it takes just a moment to open. Freshly trim the ends and scald them in hot water (just boil water and use immediately), or sear the ends with a flame. The heat helps the Poppy open pathways for water absorption so it won't wilt. We arrange freshly opened pieces or buds into bouquets, expecting the Poppy to open during the day. If you plan to sow poppies just for pleasure in the flower bed, none of this is necessary, of course :). For drying, we harvest matured poppy heads, roughly from mid-July. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.
