Playful Color Shades

An interesting name and an unusual flower resembling baby's breath. The rich blooms on the stems invite you to divide them into several smaller vases to decorate a windowsill. It finishes blooming quickly, so we recommend succession planting. You will harvest 3-4 stems from a single plant.

Cosmos are one of the most popular flowers at our farm. They resemble Daisies and customers love them. Rosetta comes in shades of darker and lighter pink painted like brush strokes. A variety with beautifully strong, firm stems. One plant produces at least 12 stems.

Cosmos are our favorites, but we missed some color variety with them. They used to be available only in white and pink. Now, finally, a piece in shades of pink-orange-yellow-peach. We just have to have this one.

Our favorite foliage and filler. It grows beautifully and binds famously! The flowers are yellowish, so they don't color-match every bouquet, but we still never have enough of it! And after flowering, tiny seed pods form which are also beautifully decorative and don't wilt; we love collecting those too.

Stock is a wonderful cut flower! It likes low temperatures, yet we grow three batches a year – two in spring and one in autumn. You harvest just one bloom per plant, but it is a really large, double one. Stock smells beautiful, almost intoxicating, and lasts a long time in a vase. The flowers are edible. The Katz series is not as susceptible to temperature changes, and is generally easier to grow for beginning gardeners. However, this comes at the cost of thinner stems and a lower percentage of double flowers. Katz Rose Bright is a rich shade of magenta pink. All stocks produce some plants with double flowers and some single. The ratio is different for each series. Katz has 55-60% double-flowered plants. We therefore recommend growing a bit more. At our farm, however, we use the single ones too; they look super unique.

Holländer Salmon is a gorgeous shade of warm rich salmon. Needle-petaled China asters, the flowers are composed of petals resembling little needles, which creates a wonderful effect and great structure in bouquets. Valkyrie China asters branch just above the ground, so you can harvest beautifully long stems. One plant produces 6-8 flowers.

Cosmos in shades from cool lemon to warmer vanilla. Cosmos are a staple of our farm and when a new shade appears, we jump on it immediately! The flowers are single, the ends of the petals fade to white. Xanthos is shorter than other Cosmos, so it is suitable for boxes and pots on the balcony.

For drying, we harvest fully colored buds. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.

Imperiale Yellow is 80 cm tall and bright yellow. We searched for a long time for a Marigold suitable for bouquets. And finally, here it is. The Imperiale Marigold series is specially bred for cutting; it is tall, with long stems topped with large, double blooms.

We know it’s not a classic cut flower. But it fits perfectly in beds, has beautiful colors, and is edible, so we forgive it. Nasturtium flowers have stems 15-20 cm long. So they are suitable for arranging in containers, tying small posies, or as cake decorations. Our Nasturtiums are not climbing, but bushy. Troika Yellow is a vibrant orange with red brushstrokes in the center.

A smaller zinnia is very practical! And the Oklahoma series has flowers 4-5 cm large and fits perfectly even into smaller floristry tasks such as wreaths. Shades of darker and lighter salmon. One plant produces at least 10 flowers.

A cut flower perfectly suited for the job, but it looks famous in the flowerbed too! Craspedia forms a basal rosette of greyish, inconspicuous leaves, from which "antennae" peek out. Straight, strong stems have yellow balls at the ends. We recommend harvesting in the bud form, before they fully bloom. Green ones are also interesting, as they are neutral and fit into any color combination. For drying, harvest when they are colored up. Just hang them upside down in a dry, ventilated place, out of sunlight.

Coreopsis looks beautiful in a garden bed or in a box on the balcony. If you plan to grow it as a cut flower, you have to be a bit careful and harvest on time; it can fade quickly. The stems are very thin and have tiny delicate flowers like butterflies at the ends. The center is burgundy, the flower edge is warm yellow. Even the buds are beautifully decorative.

A novelty in the Cornflower family. One of these little plants bloomed by mistake in a bed of blue Cornflowers last year, and we immediately started looking for it to grow. It is a very unusual shade of deep raspberry.

Double-flowered Marigold! Shades of pale yellow. The classic of our grandmothers' gardens has gained a new flair.
