Safflower Yellow Grenade

Safflower in creamy white? A cut flower you must have! We tried it for the first time this year and it's a great choice. The stems are firm, strong, and woody. They grow beautifully straight, making them wonderful for arranging. Safflower can also be used unbloomed in the form of buds, as neutral green thistles. The flowers are prickly, but the stems and leaves are not, so it doesn't bother you when cleaning and arranging the material. Well, a lot could be said about safflower, it's simply a flawless piece.

A classic among Nigellas, a rich sky-blue shade. Nigella is a spring beauty, but its fruits are also excellent for harvesting, so it will last in the flowerbed until summer.

This one has been with us for a long time. Light pink combined with creamy white. Each flower has a different distribution and combination of these two colors. Strawflower is a classic from grandma's garden and an evergreen for dried flowers. We love using them for wedding arrangements because they don't wilt. Perfect for corsages, wreaths, and boutonnieres.

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.

Orlaya likes low temperatures, so it's a purely spring and autumn beauty. It adds a fresh and airy effect to all bouquets, and the same goes for garden beds. The flowers are composed of individual tiny florets resembling lace, which is why we use it instead of baby's breath. "Casablanca" is a larger Orlaya, the plants are taller and more robust, the stems firmer, and it doesn't fade as quickly. Nevertheless, we recommend multiple sowings rather than just one.

A shade of wine red. On the farm, we are always looking for interesting types and colors. And Snapdragon Madame Butterfly is our darling! The flowers are double, which takes the entire snapdragon to a new level! The stems are not as massive and long as, for example, the Potomac and Maryland series, but they make up for it with their double flowers. We use them in bouquets where they create a beautifully large volume. One plant produces one larger and 4 smaller side stems.

An interesting name and an unusual flower resembling a bride's veil. The abundant blooms on their stems invite you to divide them into several smaller vases and adorn your windowsill. They fade quickly, so we recommend several successive sowings. You'll harvest 3-4 stems from one plant.
