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.

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.

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.

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.

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. The original wild species has its home in the mountain regions of the western Himalayas, which makes this perennial exceptionally hardy, easily handling even severe frosts down to minus twenty-eight degrees. The 'Miss Willmott' cultivar will delight you from June to August with a profusion of cherry-pink flowers adorned with a striking raspberry-red center. These blooms stand on sturdy stems, requiring no support, at a height of forty to sixty centimeters above clumps of green leaves. They are edible and are regularly visited by bees for food. We send customers a beautifully rooted potted seedling ready for transplanting into a flower bed, spaced about thirty-five centimeters apart. It is ideal for a sunny spot and ordinary loamy, well-drained soil. It is a long-lived perennial that is not bothered by any diseases or pests. It readily reseeds in the flower bed and fits beautifully into mixed plantings. You can boldly cut the pink flowers for a vase to brighten up summer bouquets, but they are not suitable for dried arrangements.

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.

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.

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.

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.
