The best-selling cut Zinnia ever! But the main thing is the color! Antique wine fading into antique pink. The Queen Lime series is our favorite Zinnia; it's love at first sight! The flowers are large, up to 10 cm, surrounded by many petals, giving a double-flowered appearance. Moving towards the center, the petals get smaller and end up unopened at the center, creating a frosted cupcake effect. No other Zinnia compares!

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.

An evergreen favorite at the flower market! Sea Holly is a perennial; it lasts for several years in the flowerbed and spreads beautifully. The "flowers" and leaves are slightly prickly; it does look like a miniature thistle after all. The stems and tops are silvery blue. And mature, bloomed Sea Holly doesn't wilt, making it great for drying, wreaths, and similar uses. For drying, harvest when the thistles are colored blue and the stem below the thistle is firm. Just hang them upside down in a dry, ventilated place, out of sunlight.

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.

For drying, we harvest mature poppy heads, roughly from mid-July. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, away from sunlight.

Eucalyptus (also known as gum tree) is one of the most requested greens and fillers in floristry ever, it is trendy! The color is silvery blue-green, which is such a combination that we are not surprised by its popularity at all. Eucalyptus Silver "Dollar" grows beautifully tall, the branches are more sparsely built. The leaves are larger and round in shape. The color of Silver Dollar is more silvery and thus in floristry fits rather into colder color combinations. For drying, we harvest as soon as the tips of the twigs are mature and the last leaves are firm. Just hang them upside down, in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.

Smaller flowers, but fully double! Soft, light powder shades, the center of the flower is wine-colored, which makes this Zinnia a great companion for any burgundy arrangement!

The lightest powder pink. A very trendy color, you will use it essentially in the arrangement of any wedding. Snapdragons of the Costa series bloom at the same time as the Maryland Snapdragon; they are early varieties suitable for lower temperatures. Their advantage lies in special shades like apricot or powder pink.

Yarrow belongs to our best-selling cut flowers. Everyone loves it! Summer Pastels contains, besides white, other colors unseen in Yarrow, such as pastel yellow, light pink, or salmon. Yarrow is a perennial and spreads beautifully year after year, so plant with sufficient spacing.

Pure splendor! We don't have nicer photos for this year because every year we cut the ornamental carrot down to the last stem and there is simply no time left for photos. Thin, strong stems and umbel inflorescences resembling dill at their ends. There are thousands of tiny flowers on each stem creating a veil or lace effect. It is a mixture of colors, where some flowers are pure white, but the majority are chocolate to burgundy with a touch of white.

Although correctly it is Cynoglossum amabile, on the farm we don't call it anything other than forget-me-not! Compared to the classic water forget-me-not that we all know, this species has sturdy and long stems perfectly suited for arranging. The color is light pink with greyish stems and buds. Each plant produces 6-8 stems and if you let some finish blooming and ripen, the seeds are easy to collect.

Shades of light, powder, and darker pink. A smaller Zinnia is very practical! The Oklahoma series has flowers 4-5 cm in size and is perfect for smaller floral projects like wreaths. Shades of darker and lighter salmon. One plant produces at least 10 flowers.

A new type of China aster on our farm that we fell in love with! Each plant is a little bush full of tiny, delicately scented flowers. We don't harvest them by individual flowers but as clusters with many little blooms. The flowers are tiny, almost double-flowered.

These beauties love the heat, which is why we associate them mainly with late summer and early autumn. Searing helps with vase life: dip freshly cut stems for 3 minutes into 90°C water and then immediately into cold water. One plant produces at least 5 stems. Goldilocks is a double-flowered variety.

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.

We fell so in love with Snapdragons at our farm that we have a plan for the whole year and Snapdragon harvests from spring right through to autumn, as each one needs a different temperature. Potomac is a fairly classic Snapdragon series; the stems are long and robust. It blooms later than the similar Snapdragon series, Maryland, and is suitable for higher temperatures here. Potomac Lavender is a warm purple color with light pink centers. One plant produces one stem.

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.

Greenery is a must! And Amaranthus is our evergreen. Coral Fountain is a cultivar of Amaranthus caudatus whose tassels don't grow upright, but instead cascade to the ground like a waterfall. And a coral-colored waterfall at that! It fits perfectly into bouquets, even if used in small amounts. It also looks interesting in a garden bed; it's definitely an annual that adds a special effect. Each plant produces one strong stem and up to five weaker side stems.
