Peony Poppy Pale Rose

At the turn of spring and summer, large, full blooms are scarce. The last ranunculus have faded, and there's plenty of time before the first dahlias bloom. On our farm, it was always a struggle at that time to find beautiful, full, large flowers for bouquets. But we succeeded! We filled the void with asters and peony-flowered poppies. These poppies reliably replace peonies, ranunculus, and dahlias. Just keep in mind that they don't bloom for long and need a bit of care to last in a bouquet. We harvest buds just as they are about to open, sear the stem ends in water for a few seconds, and let them fully open in the vase. Peony-flowered poppy Salmon is a warm pink color.

Dark burgundy color is still trendy in wedding floristry. At the turn of spring and summer, large, full blooms are scarce. The last ranunculus fade, and there's a long wait until the first dahlias bloom. On our farm, it was always a struggle to find beautiful, full, and large flowers for bouquets during that time. But we succeeded! We filled the gap with asters and peony-like poppies. These poppies reliably substitute peonies, ranunculus, and dahlias. Just keep in mind that they don't last long and need a bit of care to hold up in a bouquet. We harvest cracked buds, scorch the stem ends in water for a few seconds, and let them fully bloom in a vase.

Cosmos are one of the most beloved flowers on our farm. They resemble daisies, and customers adore them. And now, imagine such a hit in a fully double form! Double Click Rose Bonbon is a solid pink shade. One plant produces at least 12 stems.

Na přelomu jara a léta chybí velké plné květy. Odkvetou poslední pryskyřníky a zbývá hodně času, než dokvetou první jiřiny. U nás na farmě byl tou dobou vždy boj najít krásné plné a velké květy do kytic.  Ale podařilo se! Vzduchoprázdno jsme vyplnili astrami a pivoňkovitými máky. Tyto máky spolehlivě nahradí pivoňku, pryskyřník i jiřinu. Jen je třeba mít na paměti, že nevydrží kvést dlouho a potřebují trochu péče, aby v kytici držely.  Sklízíme puklé poupě, konce stonků spaříme na pár sekund ve vodě a necháme dokvést ve váze. Pivoňkovitý mák Salmon je v barvě teplé růžové.

Delicate silky white petals and a yellow center. It lives up to its name literally! We have been growing poppies since the first days of Loukykvět, and this year we are returning to them again. Poppies require more care as cut flowers and do not last as long in a vase. But! They are so beautiful that it's still worth it. Here's our guide for poppies. We harvest freshly burst buds. It's enough to see a crack in the bud and the color within. A poppy has only a few petals, so it takes a moment for it to open. We trim the ends fresh and blanch them in hot water (just boil the water and use it immediately), or singe the ends with a flame. Heat helps the poppy open its water absorption channels and prevents wilting. In bouquets, we arrange freshly opened blooms or buds, knowing that the poppy will open during the day. If you plan to sow poppies just for enjoyment in the flowerbed, none of this is necessary, of course :)

A newcomer to the cornflower family. One of these plants accidentally bloomed in our blue cornflower bed last year, and we immediately started looking for it to cultivate. It's a very unusual shade of deep raspberry.
