Perennial Collection
Buzzing Garden
This collection of nectar-producing perennials is suitable for planting in sunny locations. It contains plants that cope well with lower-quality soil and, once established, will not require regular watering or time-consuming care. Aesthetically, it is perfect for creating the impression of a wildflower meadow, and thanks to the ability of selected plants to spread via self-seeding or gradual growth, it will transform from spring to autumn. The variety of colors is complemented by a diversity of inflorescence shapes; there will always be something to admire in the beds. Umbels, spikes, flower heads—the bed is like a living botany textbook. You can use it in a school garden, an urban jungle, or to plant a sunny hillside in the countryside. Diversity in shape, species, and color is the main motto of our collection and is important for attracting various types of insects. The menu features native Central European plants as well as a few exotic specialties. It is advantageous to count on a slightly larger bed area so that we can sow and plant additional annuals. This will ensure a diverse supply throughout the season. What's important are not just the flowers with pollen and nectar reserves, but also leaves and stalks that serve as shelters for insects. Therefore, it is a good idea to add grasses such as millet, feather grass, bluestem, or grama grass to our basic collection. Depending on the moisture conditions of your plot, you can add daffodils and other bulbs. Alliums cope well with drought and look interesting in beds long after they have finished blooming. After all, excessive cleaning is not desirable in insect-friendly beds. On the contrary, by leaving most of the stems and clumps until spring, we enable many beneficial insect species to overwinter safely.
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 perennials in your basket. 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.

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.

Papaver rhoeas
Poppy Mother of Pearl
A Poppy with black centers, similar to anemones. In terms of color, it is a mix of marbled shades ranging from white through red and pink to burgundy.
We have been growing poppies since the early days of Loukykvět, and this year we are returning to them. The Poppy needs more care as a cut flower and does not last as long in a vase. But! It is such a beauty that it is worth it anyway.
Here is our guide for poppies. We harvest buds that have just cracked open. It is enough if you see a crack on the bud and the color inside. The Poppy has only a few petals, so it takes just a moment to open. Freshly trim the ends and scald them in hot water (just boil water and use immediately), or sear the ends with a flame. The heat helps the Poppy open pathways for water absorption so it won't wilt. We arrange freshly opened pieces or buds into bouquets, expecting the Poppy to open during the day.
If you plan to sow poppies just for pleasure in the flower bed, none of this is necessary, of course :).
For drying, we harvest matured poppy heads, roughly from mid-July. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.

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.

Agastache rugosa f. albiflora
Agastache Alabaster
Agastache Alabaster, also known as wrinkled agastache, comes from regions of China and Japan, where it naturally grows in sunny and drier habitats. Its deep green toothed leaves resemble a nettle at first glance, but don't worry, it certainly doesn't sting. On the contrary, it will pleasantly surprise you, because when rubbed between your fingers, it releases a very pleasant minty-anise scent. Furthermore, these fragrant leaves and white flowers are edible, and you can use them to decorate summer dishes or drinks. You will receive an already mature seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant directly into your garden, where it will bring joy for many years. It will thrive in full sun in well-drained, loamy or sandy soil.
It is a stable, upright-growing perennial that reaches a height of eighty to one hundred centimeters in full vigor. During the summer and early autumn, roughly from July to the end of September, it produces dense spike-like inflorescences. These act as a reliable magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, so your garden will gain a lot of useful life thanks to it. Agastache is a very hardy and robust plant that successfully handles our winters, as it tolerates frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. At the same time, it is completely undemanding, naturally does not suffer from diseases or pests, and therefore its cultivation is easily managed even by complete beginners. It looks excellent in perennial beds when planted in larger groups, maintaining a spacing of about half a meter.
For lovers of fresh flowers, Agastache is an incredibly rewarding choice for cutting into a vase. The freshly cut stems will last beautifully in your home for about seven days and bring a light spicy scent with them. The flowers are also floristically very interesting even after blooming, when the long inflorescences retain their firm structure. They can be easily dried and used in various dried arrangements or autumn decorations. The specific Alabaster cultivar stands out with the pure white color of its flowers. Thanks to this neutral and fresh shade, it looks very delicate and easily matches absolutely any color combination, whether directly in the flowerbed or later in a tied bouquet.

Liatris spicata
Liatris Floristan White
The pure white flowers of the 'Floristan White' variety bring elegant vertical lines and a completely novel look to summer beds. Blazing star is very popular among growers thanks to its peculiarity; it blooms exactly the opposite of most other plants, from the tip of the inflorescence downwards, which has earned it the fitting folk name "shorakvět" (top-flower) in our country. Its natural homeland is the North American prairies, where it grows in open sunny areas with nutritious and well-drained humous soil. Exactly such conditions will be ideal for it in your garden as well. We send customers grown seedlings directly in pots, which take root quickly after being transplanted into the ground and soon form vigorous clumps of narrow green leaves.
Caring for this perennial is truly undemanding, and beginner gardeners can embark on it without worry. The plant grows to a height of sixty to ninety centimeters, has stable stems that do not require support, is avoided by diseases, and excels in reliable frost resistance, as it can withstand temperatures down to minus thirty-four degrees. The only unwanted visitor can be the field vole, which is sometimes attracted to its tubers. From mid-summer to early autumn, you can look forward to blooming, which makes the plant a living magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In beds, it looks great in larger groups and gets along perfectly with ornamental grasses. The flowers apply excellently in floristry, because they stay fresh for a long time in a vase and liven up any bouquet. Furthermore, it pays off to leave the stems on the bed in autumn, as they provide a beautiful spectacle for winter interest.

Solidago canadensis
Goldenrod Golden Glory
The 'Golden Glory' goldenrod is a radiant and completely undemanding perennial that will bring plenty of positive energy to the garden at the end of summer. The original wild species originate from North America and often carry the reputation of uninvited guests in our region. But you don't have to worry at all. These modern garden cultivars are bred to behave, act moderately, and do not spread uncontrollably across the flower bed. In a sunny spot with well-drained loamy soil, they quickly grow into abundant clumps. For ideal growth, we recommend maintaining a spacing of about fifty centimeters, which corresponds to roughly four to six plants per square meter. They will easily handle even severe frosts dropping down to minus twenty-eight degrees.
From August to October, it produces upright stems fifty to a hundred centimeters tall that carry rich inflorescences. The fresh green leaves and golden-yellow flowers of the 'Golden Glory' cultivar literally shine from afar and act as a perfect magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, providing them with much-needed food before winter arrives. In flower beds, the plant needs no support and does not suffer from diseases or pests, so even a complete beginner can easily manage its care. Definitely do not cut the dead stems for winter. Their silhouette, covered with frost, creates a wonderful winter effect.
Goldenrod is specially bred for cutting and will become a great addition to your autumn bouquets. The flowers will stay beautiful in a vase for about ten days, and you can cut both fully blooming stems and those with small buds. If you are involved in floristry or just like creating decorations, you will certainly appreciate that it is perfectly suited for drying. We will deliver to you an already grown seedling in a pot, which you simply transplant straight to your chosen spot.

Aster novae-angliae
Aster Septemberrubin
A classic perennial of Czech gardens, even though it originates from North America. In nature, it grows in thickets among taller plants and naturally loses leaves on the lower part of the stem very early. Its bred cultivars also retain this characteristic. Therefore, we combine it in beds with suitable perennials that cover the lower parts well. The whole plant is roughly hairy. It is a hardy and long-lived perennial and resists powdery mildew well. Septemberrubin has rich carmine-pink flowers with a yellow center. It lasts 7 to 10 days in a vase.

Betonica officinalis
Betony Saharan Pink

Apart from the pink dead-nettle-like flowers, its great advantage is its ability to spread over time into dense stands. The flowers are a source of nectar for bees and butterflies.

Eryngium planum
Sea Holly
Sea holly is an indispensable perennial for all lovers of naturally styled gardens. It earned its folk name - male fidelity - in times when it was used in herbal medicine as an aphrodisiac, and its roots were even candied as sweets in France and England. Today, however, you will appreciate it mainly for its low maintenance and unique appearance. Its home is on sunny hillsides and dry meadows, so even in our gardens, it will welcome well-drained, even poorer sandy soil and full sun. It produces upright, sturdy stems topped with blue-purple flowers with prickly bracts, which bring interesting structure and a silvery touch to the flowerbeds.
It is literally a magnetic plant for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies, who find a rich food source on it. Floristically, it is extremely valuable, because its flowers are perfectly suited for cutting as well as drying for winter decorations. If you decide not to harvest it, feel free to leave it in the flowerbed all winter. Its silhouette covered in hoarfrost creates a wonderful winter effect. Although it is a short-lived perennial, in a suitable location it reliably self-seeds, so you will enjoy its beauty for many years.

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.

Hesperis matronalis
Sweet Rocket White
Sweet rocket is a plant that should not be missing in any cottage garden. It originally comes from moister forest edges and meadows, so it thrives in humous and well-draining soil in full sun or partial shade. It is rather a short-lived perennial or biennial, but in a suitable location, it reliably maintains itself by self-seeding. It stands out with its captivating fragrance, which fully develops only with the arrival of evening, thereby attracting moths and other pollinators. This pure white variant adds elegance and freshness to flowerbeds. It is perfectly suited as a companion plant to roses or as an undergrowth beneath taller shrubs and trees, where it creates a brightening element. If you grow it for cutting, harvest the stems the moment the first few blooms open. Bear in mind that even after cutting, the stems can grow a bit more in the vase, which is good to consider when arranging. It will last five to seven days in water.
