Perennial, bulb, and annual seed collection
Wedding Entourage for Peonies
A collection in soft, neutral tones for sunny or light-shade spots. It contains species that love good, moist soil. It works great with peonies, but also with smooth or panicle hydrangeas. Keep in mind that peonies bloom best when exposed to at least six hours of sun per day, so reserve the sunniest spot in the bed for them. All perennials in the collection are also suitable for cutting.
When planning, count on an average of six to seven perennials per m², depending on your soil quality and your specific goals. In nutrient-rich and sufficiently moist soil, perennials will grow faster and spacing can be wider to start; in poorer conditions, it is better to plant more densely. The amount of time you can dedicate to garden maintenance will also be a deciding factor.
You can work creatively with our collection and tailor it to your needs and your garden. In your cart, you can easily adjust plant quantities and choose appropriate species or cultivar substitutions. For example, if you already grow peonies and just need suitable perennial companions, you can simply keep only the perennials in your cart. During autumn shopping, you can take advantage of available bulbs and order the complete collection, including narcissi and alliums, which will ensure your bed is full of flowers throughout spring and summer. A big bonus is the selection of seeds. It consists of proven annual species that are easy to grow so that they bloom at the same time as the peonies. You can either direct-sow them directly into your perennial bed or grow them separately to harvest for bouquets.

Alchemilla mollis
Lady's mantle Irish Silk
Alchemilla mollis, known as lady's mantle, is an indispensable perennial for anyone who wants to bring harmony and softness to the garden. Its home is the moister environments of mountain meadows and light forests, making it a very adaptable plant that will survive even severe frosts without problems in our climate. The 'Irish Silk' cultivar is prized for its vitality and abundant blooming, where clouds of tiny, yellow-green flowers float above clumps of gray-green leaves. It is precisely this neutral color that can work wonders in a flower bed – it softens overly sharp contrasts between other flowers and beautifully unifies the entire composition.
Besides its ornamental function, lady's mantle also has practical uses. Thanks to its clumping growth and ability to quickly fill in, it is ideal for edging pathways or as an underplanting beneath taller shrubs and roses. Water droplets catch on its leaves, creating a magical spectacle in the garden. If you enjoy making bouquets, you will love lady's mantle as versatile filler greenery that matches almost anything. It will last beautiful for about ten days in a vase, and its inflorescences can also be easily dried without losing too much of their color or shape. Moreover, it is a magnet for pollinators, and its young leaves are even edible, so it also finds use in a natural kitchen.

Hyacinthoides hispanica
Spanish Bluebell Rose Queen
The Spanish Bluebell is a beautiful bulbous plant native to southwestern Europe, where it grows in light deciduous forests. Multiple leaves grow from the bulb, but only one flower stalk. The plant propagates well on its own in the right location via daughter bulbs and seeds, creating colonies. It blooms from May to June. The leaves die back soon after flowering. For the longest vase life, it is best to harvest them just before the florets open. Then they last up to 14 days in a vase.

Aquilegia vulgaris
Columbine Rose Barlow
The common columbine is a popular spring perennial that inherently belongs in both traditional and modern gardens. The original species grows in light forests and on the edges of meadows across Europe, so it thrives best in partial shade or full sun and ordinary loamy soil rich in humus. From us, you will receive a grown seedling in a pot, which you just need to transplant to your chosen spot. It survives winter and frosts absolutely without any problems. Although it is a short-lived perennial, it reliably self-seeds in flowerbeds. Early in the spring, it delights with fresh green leaves, above which delicate flowers bloom in May and June on thin stems growing up to eighty centimeters tall. The 'Rose Barlow' cultivar is exceptional for its double flowers in a beautiful dusty pink shade, which reliably attract bees and add wonderful lightness to plantings. It is perfectly suited for spring bouquets, where it will bring joy in a vase for up to seven days. However, it is not suitable for drying, and it is necessary to remember that the entire plant is poisonous.

Chasmanthium latifolium
Northern Sea Oats
Chasmanthium is one of the most charming ornamental grasses, bringing movement and a gentle rustling sound to the garden. It originates from the eastern part of North America, where it naturally grows in light, damp forests or on the banks of streams, so it is best suited to partial shade and humous, non-drying soil. Its greatest adornments are the flat spikelets resembling small fish, which hang from arched, drooping stems and change color throughout the season from fresh green through beige to warm copper tones, while the leaves turn golden-yellow in autumn. Chasmanthium is an excellent choice for cutting into fresh bouquets, where it adds airiness, and it looks even better dried, retaining its shape and color for a long time. Furthermore, it is a fully frost-hardy perennial that easily handles winters and will please any grower with its low-maintenance nature.

Polemonium caeruleum
Jacob's Ladder Blue Pearl
The Blue Pearl Jacob's ladder brings a piece of wild nature and the nostalgia of country gardens to the flower beds. This perennial is extremely hardy and handles even harsh frosts down to -40 °C without problems, so you don't have to worry about it in the winter. It naturally grows in moister habitats, so it will welcome humus-rich and well-drained soil that retains moisture. It will thrive in direct sun only provided there is sufficient watering, otherwise, it prefers partial shade, where its fresh green leaves form a beautiful undergrowth. Typical for it are delicate fresh green leaves and especially tender blue flowers, which attract bees and bumblebees. Furthermore, Jacob's ladder is a rewarding cut flower that adds airiness to bouquets. For a vase, we cut the stems when the first third of the flowers has bloomed, and they will stay fresh for up to 10 days. The Blue Pearl variety retains the original beauty of the botanical species with a pure shade of sky blue.

Paeonia
Peony Jan van Leeuwen
Peony Jan van Leeuwen captivates with pure white, single flowers, whose center is adorned with bright yellow stamens. This cultivar stands out above all for the length and abundance of its blooming, making it perfectly suited for more naturalistic plantings as well as classic perennial beds.
Herbaceous garden peonies are long-lived perennials, but they require patience from the gardener. They take several years to grow into their full beauty, and blooming in the very first year after planting is more of an exception than the rule. For successful growth, they need the right conditions besides time, so we recommend studying our growing instructions.
Most cultivars have their origins in Chinese and common peonies, which were a traditional part of monastery gardens. Today, we like to combine them with perennials, ornamental grasses, and bulbs, but we must always give them enough space. Potted seedlings can be planted continuously from spring to autumn.

Astrantia major
Astrantia
Astrantia is a charming long-lived perennial with palmately lobed leaves and pure white flowers that will liven up any flowerbed. In nature, it grows in damp meadows or light forests, so it will thrive best for you in partial shade and in loamy, humous soil with plenty of moisture. It forms compact clumps and from June to September shoots up sturdy, upright stems that do not need support. They branch richly and carry small umbels of flowers with striking toothed bracts with translucent green. We will deliver a mature potted seedling that you can simply transplant to a suitable spot. This fully frost-hardy plant attracts bees and butterflies and willingly self-seeds in a good location. It is excellently suited for cutting, staying fresh in a vase for ten to fourteen days. The flowers are also great for drying and for floral arrangements. Even beginners can manage the care; you just need to keep an eye on the young leaves in spring to protect them from slugs.

The plant reaches a height of thirty to forty centimeters and fits perfectly into spring flower beds, where it beautifully complements colorful bulbs or lower perennials.
