Perennial Collection
Red tones in the garden bed
A collection for lovers of red. An effective combination of perennials for sunny spots with good soil and the possibility of watering. Thanks to the combination of grasses, perennials, annuals, and alliums, you can create a spectacular display in the very first season. The tone-on-tone color scheme balances a selection that is rich in shape and structure, which will be effective both in the flower bed and in bouquets. Great additions are perennial grasses (millet) and annual, yet all the more effective, fountain grasses. The selection of annuals includes species suitable for direct sowing (cornflowers) as well as those for starting indoors. You will find everything about their cultivation in the detailed descriptions of each item.
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 do not want to grow annuals from seeds, you can keep only the perennials in your cart. You can choose specific species or change the cultivars. When shopping in the autumn, you can take advantage of available bulbs and order the complete collection including ornamental alliums, which will add an unusual color and shape element to your bed.

Allium sphaerocephalon
Allium sphaerocephalon
The round-headed garlic draws attention with its striking flowers, which form unmistakable dark purple and burgundy dots. It is a summer-blooming variety that reaches a height of about seventy to one hundred centimeters. Its egg-shaped inflorescences, three to five centimeters in size, are densely packed and appear from June to August. Its leaves resemble chives in shape, but it is typical for summer garlic that they begin to naturally yellow and wither during the blooming period. The deep color of the flowers stands out perfectly in mixed prairie plantings alongside delicate ornamental grasses. Furthermore, the dense inflorescences act as a magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. Anyone who creates home arrangements will love this plant. The firm, long stems are excellent for cutting into fresh bouquets, and the heads retain their shape and color after drying for use in dried arrangements. The entire plant is fully edible and completely resistant to common diseases.

Rudbeckia hirta
Rudbeckia Cherry Brandy
These beauties love heat, which is why we associate them mainly with late summer and early autumn. Scalding helps with vase life: dip freshly cut stems into 90°C water for 3 minutes and then immediately into cold water. One plant produces at least 5 stems. Cherry Brandy is a beautiful shade of dark wine.

Scabiosa atropurpurea
Scabiosa QIS Deep Red
A novelty among Scabiosas! This piece is from the QIS series, meaning a quality, bred variety. But that's not all; the color shade is also great. It is not black like the Scabiosa Black Purple, but a red wine, burgundy shade. And just like the others, the open flowers each have a white pistil, creating a sugared effect.

Allium atropurpureum
Purple Allium
Allium atropurpureum originally arrived from the sunny regions of the Balkans. At first glance, it captures attention with its exceptionally dark, deep burgundy color, which acts as a perfect contrast in the garden to lighter perennials and ornamental grasses. During May and June, striking semi-spherical inflorescences composed of tiny star-shaped flowers bloom on sturdy stems reaching a height of sixty to ninety centimeters. They look beautiful, emit a pleasant fragrance, and attract bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators from a distance. After flowering, the plant gradually retreats into the ground, so it is ideal to combine it with species that will unobtrusively fill its space throughout the summer. The flowers also stand out in bouquets, where they stay fresh for many days. You can also dry them or leave them in the flower bed over winter, as their snow-covered silhouettes create a magical spectacle. Furthermore, the flowers are edible and make a great decoration for dishes.

Allium amethystinum
Allium Red Mohican
The Allium amethystinum cultivar known as Red Mohican brings original burgundy colors and playful shapes to garden beds. It forms tall, sturdy stems on which dark red inflorescences with a delicate fragrance bloom in early summer. You will receive a high-quality bulb ready for planting, so there is no tedious growing from seeds involved. The plant reaches approximately one meter in height and, thanks to its sturdy structure, stands easily without support. It fits perfectly into mixed country-style plantings, where it functions as a striking vertical element. The green leaves naturally die back with the arrival of summer, so it is good to combine this allium with plants that will quickly fill the empty space. The fragrant flowers are a great attraction for bees and bumblebees, and as a pleasant bonus, they are fully edible. This is an extremely hardy plant that easily handles even harsh frosts. The burgundy heads look beautiful in a vase and can be successfully dried to create long-lasting arrangements. Uncut flowers also decorate the garden with their silhouettes well into winter.

Talinum paniculatum
Talinum Jewels of Opar
Talinum paniculatum, known as Jewels of Opar, brings lightness and playfulness to gardens and bouquets alike. This low-maintenance annual forms a basal rosette of fresh green leaves, from which thin stems, sixty to ninety centimeters long, emerge in June. Clouds of tiny flowers in vibrant shades of crimson, coral, and pink open at their tips. They attract bees and butterflies, while the plant itself is also completely edible. It looks delicate in a flower bed and fills the spaces between more prominent perennials. It also stands out as filler greenery in a vase. You can cut the flowering stems or wait for the small, shiny seed pods, which are easy to dry. Even beginners can successfully grow Talinum from seeds. Sow them from April to June in a sunny or semi-shaded location with well-drained soil. Do not cover them on the surface, as they need light to germinate. They are not prone to pests and will readily self-seed at the end of the summer.

Potentilla nepalensis
Nepal Cinquefoil Miss Willmott
Himalayan cinquefoil catches the eye at first glance with its vibrant flowers and is a great choice even for absolute beginners.

Helenium
Helenium Dunkle Pracht
Sneezeweed Dunkle Pracht will bring the rich and warm colors of late summer to your flowerbeds. These robust perennials have their origins in the moist meadows and light forests of North America, where they naturally seek out sunny habitats with plenty of moisture. In the garden, therefore, they do best in humous and well-drained soil that should not dry out completely in the summer months. Thanks to its height exceeding one meter, it is perfectly suited for the background of perennial borders or as a prominent feature in country and prairie gardens. The flowers are also a strong magnet for bees and other pollinators, who visit them abundantly during the summer.
The Dunkle Pracht cultivar, which translates to "Dark Magnificence", fully lives up to its name thanks to intense wine-red flowers with a protruding dark center. The plant is undemanding and suitable even for beginner growers and is fully frost-resistant down to very low temperatures. It blooms persistently from July to September, thereby beautifully bridging the period when summer perennials fade and autumn asters are just waking up. Sturdy stems make sneezeweed an excellent flower for cutting into vases. Although the plant is not edible and is poisonous, its ornamental value and contribution to the garden ecosystem are irreplaceable.

Centaurea cyanus
Cornflower Tall Double Red Boy
Everyone knows classic field cornflowers, but the 'Tall Double Red Boy' variety brings a completely different spectacle to the garden. It is a very unusual shade of deep raspberry, which we fell in love with immediately after one plant accidentally bloomed among our blue cornflowers last year. The richly double flowers measure approximately four centimeters in diameter and grow on stems up to eighty centimeters tall. The silvery gray-green foliage gives the whole composition a delicate look that beautifully softens the surrounding planting. The raspberry cornflower stands out best in natural-looking flower beds, where it pairs perfectly with ornamental grasses, daisies, or white-flowering annuals. Throughout the summer, it serves as a plentiful feast for bees and bumblebees. Lovers of fresh arrangements love using it in colorful summer bouquets, where its unconventional color immediately catches everyone's eye. It works just as well for drying into dry decorations that will remind you of warm days even during the cold months. Moreover, it is a plant with edible flowers, which you can easily use to decorate festive cakes or summer drinks.

Centranthus ruber
Red Valerian Pretty Betsy Red
The crimson red flowers of valerian will brighten up any sunny garden and reliably attract plenty of pollinators. This airy perennial has its origins in the Mediterranean region, where it decorates warm, sunny slopes and dry places. Thanks to this, it is completely undemanding, and in your garden, it will do best in full sun with well-drained, sandy, or loamy soil. The striking red shade of the 'Pretty Betsy Red' variety is complemented by gray-green leaves.
Valerian holds one amazing record, as it offers the longest blooming period of all perennials. From early summer until early autumn, it constantly adorns itself with tiny edible florets clustered in convex panicles. Even complete beginners can easily manage its care. Pests and diseases avoid the plant, and it easily handles severe frosts. Even though it grows as a short-lived plant, it willingly self-seeds. In compositions, it looks excellent next to delicate grasses. Its blooming stems are a great attraction for bees and butterflies, and hummingbird hawk-moths often feast on them as well. Valerian flowers perfectly liven up summer bouquets. For the vase, cut the stems just before they unfurl or when freshly opened; they will last about a week at home.

Knautia macedonica
Knautia Red Knight
Macedonian scabious is an abundantly and long-blooming, undemanding perennial that will bring the untamed charm of summer meadows to the garden. Its wild form originates from the sun-drenched Balkans, where it naturally grows on sunny hillsides and in warm thickets. You will receive from us a mature seedling in a pot, which just needs to be transplanted into well-drained loamy or sandy soil in the sun or partial shade. Here it will quickly take root and form a vigorous clump. The Red Knight cultivar enchants with slender stems up to ninety centimeters tall, which all summer from June to September carry a flood of dark burgundy to deep wine-red flowers. These edible flowers act as a huge attraction for bees, bumblebees, and other insects. The plant is an ideal choice for beginners because it reliably resists frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees and does not suffer from any pests or diseases. Although it belongs to short-lived perennials, in a suitable place it gladly self-seeds. It will fit perfectly into naturalistically designed plantings with ornamental grasses and is popularly used in sweeping meadow bouquets. We recommend cutting the flowers fully open; they will then stay beautifully fresh in a vase for several days.

Lobelia fulgens
Lobelia Queen Victoria
Lobelia Queen Victoria is an unmissable perennial for lovers of vibrant colors and striking contrasts. Its original homeland is the moister regions of North and Central America, so in your garden as well, it will appreciate more abundant watering and humous, well-drained loamy soil. If you provide it with a sunny to semi-shady location, it will reward you with radiant carmine-red flowers from August to October. These create a perfect spectacle in combination with dark burgundy to bronze leaves and sturdy stems that reach a height of just under one meter. You will receive a beautifully grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant directly into the flowerbed. Here it perfectly complements plants with similar moisture requirements. The flowers act as a reliable magnet for bees and other pollinators, and you can also cut them for a vase, where they will liven up your interior. Growing this short-lived perennial requires a little more attention, especially when it comes to protection from slugs, which like to feast on it. Before winter, it is also good to keep in mind that its frost resistance reaches minus fifteen degrees, and to provide it with suitable protection. Also remember that all parts of the lobelia are poisonous, so it is advisable to consider the planting location with regard to pets.
