Perennial Collection with Bulbs and Seeds

Nostalgic Cottage Collection

This collection presents a shapely, diverse foundation for creating a perennial bed with the atmosphere of a countryside holiday. It is suitable for a sunny spot with good soil and, at the start, the option for watering. Over time, these tried-and-tested, resilient perennials will manage even without your daily presence. A colorful base is formed by 'Summer Pastels' yarrow. If you have a favorite color, you can choose from our other cultivars. And then we have something of every color: Pink mallow for repeat flowering; blue, pink, or white sage of your choice. The vertical highlights are undoubtedly provided by hollyhock, fennel, and sweet pea, each in its own way. Sweet pea will appreciate support to climb on; you can choose white, pink, or a mix. Fennel with its airy umbels will serve as a gentle background for lower species and can easily be replaced by dill, for instance. Tall hollyhocks are a classic in country gardens. They are usually classified as biennials or short-lived perennials. If you prefer longevity, reach for those with simple flowers from the 'Spotlight' series, and if you are a lover of double flowers, you will surely forgive your favorites their impermanence. And daisies? A summer classic you simply cannot do without. Feverfew and foxglove round out the entire collection. You can pre-grow them from seeds or occasionally buy them directly at our nursery. For a spring effect, it is great to supplement this collection with daffodils and tulips. And if you desire an even more diverse selection of species, combine this package with our 'Fragrant Collection for Roses' or add aromatic herbs for utility. When planning, count on an average of six to seven perennials per m², depending on the soil quality in your garden and your intentions. In nutritious and sufficiently moist soil, perennials will grow faster and the distances between them can be larger to start with; in poorer conditions, it will be better to plant them more densely. The time you can dedicate to bed maintenance will also be a deciding factor. With our collection, you can work creatively and adapt it to your needs and your garden. In the basket, you can easily adjust plant counts and choose appropriate species and cultivar substitutes. 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 selected species in your basket. Conversely, when shopping in autumn, you can take advantage of available bulbs and order the complete collection, including spring bulbs and alliums, which will ensure your bed has plenty of flowers in both spring and summer. Show full description

Narcissus Palmares, Loukykvět
Fragrant

Narcissus

Most daffodils have a bright orange or deep yellow center, but lately, more muted pastel colors have become increasingly popular. The Palmares daffodil is exactly the hit you've been looking for if you want something a little different. We explore every powdery, salmon, and apricot-colored daffodil we can get our hands on, and this cultivar absolutely charmed us. Although it is a simple daffodil, its center is made up of beautifully ruffled petals in a soft peach shade. Thanks to this detail, the entire flower has an unexpectedly rich appearance, softened by pure white outer petals. From the large bulbs you receive from us and plant directly into the soil, strong flowers will emerge in the spring. During April and May, these thirty to forty-centimeter-tall beauties will brighten up any sunny or semi-shaded spot in your garden. Palmares is a long-lived perennial and stands out in group plantings. In addition to its ornamental function outdoors, it is perfect for creating cut bouquets, to which it brings an elegant spring mood.

Daffodil Shrike, Loukykvět
Fragrant

Narcissus

The Shrike narcissus draws attention from a distance with its unusual flowers, which combine pure white with warm shades of orange. The flowers gradually transition to a richer apricot color, and as the bloom ages, the color fades into softer apricot tones. The central petals are distinctly wavy and ruffled. Occasionally, they even reach the very edge of the flower or playfully alternate with the white petals, creating a rich and fluffy appearance. The plant reaches a height of about forty centimeters and will brighten up any spring flower bed during April and May. Its pleasant scent reliably attracts the first spring bees and other pollinators. In the garden, this narcissus stands out both in large groups and in combination with other spring bulbs or lower perennials. The bulb you receive will grow into a healthy plant that does not need support and is resistant to common diseases. Thanks to their sturdy stems, the flowers are absolutely ideal for cutting into spring bouquets, where their unusual shape and fragrance will bring much joy.

German Garlic, Loukykvět

Allium senescens

Mountain garlic (or German garlic) is an undemanding yet very valuable allium for flower beds. Its leaves remain beautifully green throughout the season until well into winter. It sprouts early in spring, filling empty spaces in the beds with its foliage. This is followed in July and August by light purple flowers. It is suitable for rock gardens and container growing. And although its stems are not very long, it is also excellent for cutting.

Checkerbloom Brilliant, Loukykvět

Sidalcea

The 'Brilliant' prairie mallow is a charming short-lived perennial that resembles miniature hollyhocks with its flowers and brings a romantic touch to the summer garden. Its homeland is the sunny plains and meadows of North America, so it will also grow best in full sun in your garden. We send customers mature potted seedlings, which simply need to be transplanted into well-drained, loamy, and sufficiently humous soil. Caring for it is very easy and can be effortlessly managed even by beginners. During the summer, it needs regular watering, and the only things you need to watch out for are slugs and the possible appearance of rust on the leaves. However, the plant is highly frost-resistant and will survive the winter without problems down to minus twenty-eight degrees. From June to September, it forms tall, straight stems heavily laden with tiny flowers. These reliably act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with a rich pasture. An interesting fact is that these flowers are completely safe and even edible, so you can use them to liven up summer salads or desserts. In flowerbeds, the prairie mallow perfectly complements classic combinations with roses, but it also fits perfectly into wilder plantings in the company of ornamental grasses. It grows to a height of around one meter and does not need any support. If you like to decorate your home with fresh flowers, prairie mallow stems are great for cutting and look beautiful in summer bouquets. The 'Brilliant' cultivar stands out especially for its vibrant, richly colored flowers in shades of crimson, which you truly will not miss against the green background of the leaves.

Foxglove Dalmatian Rose, Loukykvět

Digitalis purpurea

The Dalmatian Rose cultivar brings an unmistakable charm to gardens with striking pink flowers on sturdy stems. Foxglove is a native species of Central Europe, seeking out moist meadows and forest glades. We have prepared a mature seedling in a pot for you, which you can easily transplant to the flowerbed. It suits sun and partial shade, and will most appreciate ordinary loamy and well-drained soil. It forms a basal rosette of leaves and in spring sends up stems up to one hundred and twenty centimeters tall. As a short-lived perennial, it self-seeds in a suitable location, so you will not lose it. The flowers bloom during May and attract bees, butterflies, and bumblebees from afar. It is an extremely undemanding plant without pests, surviving severe frosts around minus twenty-eight degrees. Since the entire plant is poisonous, it is mainly suitable for ornamental flowerbeds. It serves excellently for floristic purposes and in bouquets. Stems with bells stay fresh in a vase for six to eight days. This variety blooms abundantly right in its first year and has a very distinct pattern in the throat.

Tree mallow Bredon Springs, Loukykvět
Special offer

Lavatera olbia

Tree mallow 'Bredon Springs' is literally a magnet for the eyes and for beneficial insects in your garden. This massive, shrub-like growing perennial, native to the western Mediterranean, does not deny its southern temperament and loves sunny locations with well-drained, loamy soil. It stands out with an incredibly long blooming period, tirelessly producing a flood of large, deep pink flowers resembling hibiscuses from June until the end of the summer holidays. Thanks to its lush growth, it is perfectly suited for the rear parts of perennial beds, where it will create a rich green wall in a short time, or as a dominant feature in country gardens. The flowers are additionally edible, so you can use them to decorate summer salads or desserts. In our climatic conditions, this tree mallow behaves more like a short-lived perennial or subshrub. Although it tolerates frosts down to -10 °C, in colder areas of the country it will appreciate a winter cover or being planted in a protected, warm spot sheltered from the wind. Its cultivation is very easy, making it an ideal choice even for novice gardeners who want to quickly fill empty spaces in a flower bed. The upright stems are also suitable for cutting into large summer bouquets, where they stay fresh for several days. It is good to continuously remove faded flowers, which will encourage the setting of new buds and prolong the season of colors until late summer.

The inflorescences consist of striking lipped flowers, which are a huge attraction for bees and bumblebees. Sky Dance has light blue flowers.

Hollyhock Chaters White, Loukykvět

Alcea rosea plena

Hollyhocks are a necessity for every lover of rural atmosphere. We traditionally associate them with sunny cottage gardens, even though they came to Europe with ancient travelers along the Silk Road all the way from the steppes of Central Asia. And the taste for travel has remained with the hollyhock. It often self-seeds and you will find it in a place where you certainly didn't plant it. Naturally, it is a biennial or short-lived perennial. However, its instability is balanced by beautiful double flowers and a distinct silhouette and height. It is suitable for cutting and was also used for dyeing and as a medicinal plant. The Chater's series includes proven varieties with pompon-like double flowers.

Common fennel, Loukykvět

Foeniculum vulgare

Common fennel is an imposing aromatic perennial that brings an unrepeatable veil effect into the garden. It originally hails from the Mediterranean, where it grows in sunny places. Therefore, it also prefers full sun and well-drained loamy soil here. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant into the flower bed, spacing them sixty centimeters apart. It grows to over a meter tall and is cultivated for its finely divided leaves in green to bronze shades, but it does not form bulbs. In summer, yellow-green umbels appear, acting as a magnet for bees and other pollinators. The entire plant smells of anise, and both its leaves and flowers are edible. It handles severe frosts without difficulty, doesn't suffer from diseases or pests, and any beginner can manage its care. In a suitable spot, it reliably self-seeds. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses, the flowers last seven to ten days in a vase, and the mature umbels can be dried for winter decorations.

Sweet pea White Pearl, Loukykvět

Lathyrus latifolius

The perennial sweet pea White Pearl will bring a flood of pure white flowers to the garden and liven up any empty support. It originally comes from the light woodland edges of Southern and Central Europe, where it climbs over the surrounding vegetation. Therefore, a sunny spot or partial shade and ordinary, well-drained loamy soil suit it well. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you simply transplant directly into the flowerbed. It is an exceptionally resilient perennial that can handle frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. For successful growth, it needs support to climb to a height of over two meters. Throughout the entire summer, it forms clusters of flowers similar to the annual sweet pea. Although they lack its fragrance, they reliably attract bees and butterflies. The White Pearl cultivar captivates with its pure white color, making it look very elegant. It does not suffer from pests and even beginners can handle growing it. It quickly greens up fences and trellises and its flowers perfectly complement summer bouquets, in which they stay fresh for a long time. Just remember that, like other sweet peas, it is poisonous.
