Safflower White Grenade

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.

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.

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.

Cínie Benary’s Giant Lime vnáší do zahrad velmi neobvyklou a žádanou barvu. Její obří plné květy září svěžím limetkovým odstínem, který na záhonu vytváří příjemný kontrast k tradičním letničkám. Jedná se o bujně rostoucí květinu, jejíž pěstování hravě zvládnou i úplní začátečníci. Stačí na jaře v období od dubna do června vyset semena do běžné hlinité, humózní nebo písčité půdy. Rostlina nejvíce ocení slunné stanoviště, ale bez sebemenších problémů poroste také v polostínu. Vzhledem k tomu, že dokáže vyrůst až do výšky přes jeden metr, vyplatí se pro ni včas připravit oporu. Od poloviny prázdnin až do podzimu se můžete těšit na nepřetržitou záplavu zelených květů. Pro bohatší větvení doporučujeme mladé rostliny na začátku růstu zaštípnout.
