Perennial Collection
Under-Tree Perennial Collection
Places under trees are considered the most difficult to solve in a garden. But with our collection of hardy perennials, you can boldly start planting. We have selected species whose root systems cope well with the competition of surrounding shrubs or trees and can also tolerate partial shade. Now it only depends on the specific conditions of your garden and your preferences.
When planning, count on an average of six to seven perennials per m², though this always depends on the soil quality in your garden and your goals. In nutritious and sufficiently moist soil, perennials will grow faster and the distances between them can be larger to start; in poorer conditions, it is better to plant more densely. The time you can dedicate to bed maintenance will also be a deciding factor.
Our collection allows you to be creative and adapt it to your needs and your garden. You can easily adjust the number of plants as well as species and cultivar substitutions in your cart. For example, if you are already growing some of the perennials in this collection and only need to supplement your bed, you can keep only the chosen perennials in your cart. Conversely, when shopping in the autumn, you can take advantage of available bulbs and order the complete collection including spring bulbs, which will ensure your bed has plenty of flowers even in the spring.

Deschampsia cespitosa
Tufted Hairgrass Goldschleier
Tufted hairgrass is an undemanding native grass that remains green even in winter. In nature, it grows in meadows and forest clearings. It forms a compact tuft of leaves, from which grow fine, thin stems with transparent clouds of flowers. It adapts even to more difficult conditions, such as dry shade or compacted soil, and can handle waterlogging. Goldschleier has very tiny spikelets in light yellow panicles. The inflorescence forms a fluffy light yellow cloud above the tuft of leaves.

Geranium cantabrigiense
Cranesbill Biokovo
Dense carpets of fresh green leaves and delicate pastel flowers make Cantabrigiense cranesbill Biokovo a great choice for any garden. This resilient natural species has its original distribution area in the Croatian Biokovo mountains, where it had to adapt to harsher conditions, so it will easily handle frosts reaching minus twenty-eight degrees here. In the garden, it will benefit most from partial shade or full sun and standard well-draining loamy soil. As a versatile groundcover perennial, it quickly overgrows empty spaces and brings an extra bonus, as its aromatic foliage does not drop in milder winters. The flowers appear on upright stems from May to July, and the plant does not suffer from diseases or pests. The flowers are delicately white with a pink tinge and are adorned with striking purple stamens, which reliably attract bees. A carefully grown seedling in a pot will arrive from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flowerbed. In addition, you can cut the flowers for a vase for various smaller floristic arrangements, where they will reliably bring joy for about five to seven days.

Scilla bifolia
Alpine Squill
The Alpine squill originates from Asia Minor and Central and Southern Europe, gradually finding its way into our gardens since the 16th century. In the garden, it is excellent for naturalizing under deciduous shrubs and trees, but also for use in meadows and lawns, where it willingly creates carpets of blue flowers. It blooms as early as March and, despite its low stature, creates an incredible effect, especially when planted in larger groups. Compared to the Siberian squill, the flower color is more subtle, the overall appearance is more delicate, and the flowering time is earlier.

Brunnera sibirica
Siberian Bugloss
Siberian bugloss is a hardy perennial that is unfazed even by the shady corners of the garden where other plants fail to thrive. It earned its name thanks to its tiny blue flowers, which are very similar to classic forget-me-nots and bloom in April and May. Unlike its more famous relative, the largeleaf bugloss, this species spreads a bit more vigorously and forms dense stands. Thanks to its underground rhizomes, it works as a great groundcover plant that reliably suppresses weeds under trees or shrubs. Once the plant finishes blooming, all its energy moves into the large, deep green heart-shaped leaves, which quickly grow to their final size. It is an ideal choice for beginners because it handles heavier clay soils excellently and tolerates short-term drought. Furthermore, the flowers are suitable for cutting into spring tied bouquets, where they look very tender and add lightness to the arrangement.

Aster divaricatus
White Wood Aster Eastern Star
The Eastern Star White wood aster is a reliable perennial originating from North American forest clearings and forest edges. It thrives best in partial shade to shade, where it will appreciate ordinary well-draining and loamy soil. It is perfect for planting under mature trees because it deals surprisingly well with the competition from their roots. You will receive an already grown seedling in a pot from us, ready to be transplanted. It soon forms dense clumps of fresh green leaves and dark wiry stems. Despite its dense growth, it looks delicate and airy. During August and September, it blooms with a flood of white flowers with fewer petals, which bring light into shady corners and reliably attract bees. It is an exceptionally resilient plant for beginners that does not suffer from diseases and survives even harsh frosts dropping to minus twenty-eight degrees. It serves excellently for cutting into fresh bouquets as well as for drying for floristry purposes. Furthermore, when left in the garden bed, it offers a beautiful winter effect.

Symphytum grandiflorum
Large-flowered comfrey
Symphytum grandiflorum will bring light even to the darkest corners of your garden. This perennial herb is characterized by creamy, tubular flowers that appear as early as April and gently contrast with dark green, hairy leaves. It is an ideal choice for planting under mature trees, where many other plants fail to thrive due to lack of light and root competition. Here, the comfrey will create a continuous, vigorous undergrowth reaching a height of 20 to 40 centimeters. Besides its aesthetic function, it also fulfills an important ecological role, as its early flowers provide valuable food for waking pollinators. The plant is fully frost-resistant and does not require any special care or support. Keep in mind, however, that this is a species that is poisonous and not intended for consumption, but it will make a great show in the flowerbed.

Viola odorata
Sweet Violet Königin Charlotte
An undemanding yet noble perennial that reliably fills empty spaces in partial shade and shade, that is the sweet violet. It naturally occurs in light forests from Europe to the Caucasus, making it perfectly adapted to our climatic conditions and fully frost-resistant. The plant forms low clumps of heart-shaped leaves and gradually spreads sideways via creeping runners, thereby effectively suppressing weeds. The Königin Charlotte cultivar is valued for its intense fragrance and dark blue-purple flowers on sturdy stems, which are also suitable for cutting into miniature spring bouquets. As one of the first blooming plants, it provides valuable food for bees and bumblebees waking up after winter. A huge advantage of this variety is repeated blooming, as it often blooms again in late summer after the main spring flush. The flowers are edible, and candied violets were formerly a popular delicacy at aristocratic courts.

Waldsteinia ternata
Barren strawberry
Barren strawberry is the perfect solution for places in the garden where neither lawn nor other sun-loving plants thrive. This tough perennial originates from the forest undergrowth of the temperate zone from Europe to Siberia, and therefore feels right at home in shade and partial shade. It is valued primarily for its glossy, dark green leaves resembling strawberry foliage, which remain on the plant over the winter, thus creating an attractive, dense carpet all year round. Thanks to its ability to spread quickly, it acts as a reliable groundcover plant that effectively suppresses weed growth and retains moisture in the soil.
During April and May, the dark greenery lights up with an abundance of tiny, golden-yellow flowers. Although barren strawberry is not intended for cutting into a vase or for drying, its ornamental value directly in the bed is irreplaceable. Additionally, the flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects. It is an extremely low-maintenance and long-lived plant that does not suffer from diseases or pests and handles frosts down to -34 °C. Just provide it with humus-rich, well-draining soil and occasional watering, and you will gain a maintenance-free decoration for shady corners, slopes, or undergrowth beneath trees.

Aster ageratoides
Aster ageratoides Starshine
These asters are perfectly suitable for low-maintenance plantings as undergrowth between shrubs and trees. After establishing, they cope very well with drought and root pressure. They are therefore also recommended for large-scale plantings in public greenery. The cultivar 'Starshine' blooms with tiny, pure white flowers with bright yellow centers. Its advantage is a very long flowering period and resistance to powdery mildew. It tolerates even drier soil and has no problem blooming in light partial shade. It lasts 7 to 10 days in a vase.

Omphalodes verna
Blue-eyed Mary
Spring navelwort is a groundcover woodland perennial native to southern Europe. It naturalized in our gardens as early as the 16th century, and in suitable places, it can form dense carpets of fresh green leaves. Thanks to this, it works as a reliable undergrowth beneath shrubs and trees, where it naturally retains moisture and prevents weed growth. The sky-blue flowers, strikingly similar to forget-me-nots, appear early in the spring, from March to May, and attract the first bees and other pollinators. The plant thrives in partial shade to full shade and requires humus-rich, loamy soil. It is a completely undemanding and frost-hardy perennial that is not bothered by pests or diseases. Although it is a lower plant, its tiny flowers can also be used in delicate spring arrangements.
