Orlaya is a floral variety somewhere between Ammi and ornamental carrot. However, it also has outer flowers with large petals, creating the impression of lace or embroidery. The stems are strong and straight, fitting beautifully into bouquets. And after flowering, tiny seed heads form which are also beautifully decorative and do not wilt; we love harvesting those too.

Statice is a classic from grandma's garden, but also an evergreen of dried flowers. We grow statice by the hundreds! It is incredibly useful in bouquets as filler material and even undried lasts a long time in a vase. Once all the florets on the stem bloom, statice no longer wilts and is suitable for wreaths, corsages, boutonnieres. One plant produces at least 15 stems. For drying, we harvest statice at the stage when the stem under the flower is firm and the entire inflorescence has bloomed. Just hang them upside down, in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.

The Bronze&White variant is the most beautiful of all colors. The color is salmon to coral with lighter highlights on the flowers. At the farm, we are always looking for interesting species and colors. And the Snapdragon Madame Butterfly is our darling! The flowers are double-flowered, which takes the whole Snapdragon to a new level! The stems are not as massive and long as, for example, in the Potomac and Maryland series, but they make up for it with their double blooms. We use them in bouquets, where they create beautifully large volume. One plant produces one larger and 4 smaller side stems.

Benary’s Giant is a great and reliable series of zinnias, we vouch for it completely! The flowers are larger, roughly 10 cm and full of petals, so they look beautifully double. Benary’s Giant Salmon Rose is a beautiful shade of brick orange to salmon.

Larkspurs are spring beauties that are unmatched. But if you want to harvest them for cut flowers, you must be vigilant and harvest quickly before all buds open. Especially in the warm springs of recent years, they bloom quickly, so we sow several batches 14 days apart just to keep up with the harvest. Larkspur QIS Light Pink is a beautiful pale shade of warm pink. From one plant you will harvest one thicker stem and 4-5 smaller side ones.

Large double flowers are missing at the turn of spring and summer. The last Ranunculus finish blooming and there is plenty of time before the first Dahlias arrive. On our farm, it was always a struggle to find beautiful, full, and large flowers for bouquets at that time. But we succeeded! We filled the void with China asters and peony-flowered Poppies. These Poppies reliably replace peonies, Ranunculus, and Dahlias. Just keep in mind that they don't last long and need a little care to last in a bouquet. We harvest when the bud cracks, sear the ends of the stems in water for a few seconds, and let them finish opening in the vase. Peony Poppy Salmon is a warm pink color.

Just when we thought there couldn't be more beauty, along came Cherry Bronze. Orange leaning into raspberry, one of the most beautiful color shades on the farm ever. We are always looking for interesting varieties and colors. And Snapdragon Madame Butterfly is our darling! The flowers are double-flowered and that takes the whole Snapdragon to a new level! Stems aren't as massive and long as, for example, the Potomac and Maryland series, but they make up for it with their doubleness. We use them in bouquets, where they create beautifully large volume. One plant produces one larger and 4 smaller side stems.

The Lady Coral series has flowers as fluffy as teddy bears and they are even more double-flowered than other China asters. Lady Coral Lavender is a rich shade of lavender purple. One plant produces 11-15 flowers.

The Bronze variant, compared to Bronze&White, does not have a white accent, but even so, it is the most beautiful of all colors. The color is salmon to coral orange. At the farm, we are always looking for interesting types and colors. And the Madame Butterfly Snapdragon is our darling! The flowers are double, and that takes the whole Snapdragon to a new level! The stems are not as massive and long as, for example, the Potomac and Maryland series, but they make up for it with their double flowers. We use them in bouquets, where they create beautifully large volume. One plant produces one larger and 4 smaller side stems.

A classic of dried flowers; our grandmothers had gardens full of honesty. It blooms in spring just like sweet rocket or columbine, but the flowers aren't suitable for cutting. It pays to wait, and in summer you can harvest the first fruits. Honesty creates seeds wrapped in beautiful oval pods. We recommend harvesting them even when green; they look beautiful in bouquets! And that is the difference between white and purple honesty. The white one has fresh green pods the color of peas. Dried, they look the same for both species. For drying, we harvest pods from which the seed casings are already naturally falling off. Just hang them upside down in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.

The Barlow series is our favorite columbine because the flowers are double-flowered! We grow columbines on our farm as annuals, so we sow new ones every year. This saves space and we achieve longer stems. We grow part of the columbines in a polytunnel so we catch the harvest for Mother's Day, when flowers are scarce. White Barlow is creamy white.

Dried, they look the same. However, the purple one has fresh pods that are dark green with a hint of burgundy. A classic of dried flowers; our grandmothers had gardens full of honesty.

A reliable Zinnia for cutting. Long, sturdy stems and large blooms. Salmon-red color.

Blue lace; blue is difficult in the summer as hardly anything blooms in this color, but here is a tip for a fantastic variety. Didiscus has a peculiar name, but it is a real beauty, similar to Ammi or ornamental carrot. The blooms are disc-shaped with tiny florets. Didiscus finishes blooming relatively quickly, much like Ammi or ornamental carrot, so we recommend succession sowing. It likes warmth, so it can even be sown in summer.

The Barlow series is our favorite Columbine because the flowers are double-flowered! We grow Columbines at our farm as annuals, so we sow new ones every year. This saves space and we achieve longer stems. We grow part of the Columbines in a polytunnel and thus manage the harvest for Mother's Day, when flowers are scarce. Bordeaux Barlow is a wine color, shade Burgundy.

We fell so in love with Snapdragons at our farm that we have a plan for the whole year and Snapdragon harvests from spring to autumn, as each needs a different temperature. Maryland is quite a classic series of Snapdragons, the stems are long and robust. It blooms earlier than the similar Snapdragon series, Potomac. One plant produces one stem. Shell Pink is the color of very light, warm pink.

We grew Corn cockle a few years back, but it finished blooming terribly fast and it was hard to keep up with the harvesting pace. However, Ocean Pearl is a great white variety with large flowers, so we turned a blind eye and added this Corn cockle to our repertoire. It fits wonderfully into wedding floristry; the flowers have a few grey markings or spots inside and look beautifully delicate, resembling a refined seashell.

Icelandic poppies belong among our most favorite items ever! The delicate silky flowers give a light and airy impression whether in a bouquet, vase, or flower bed. In wedding floristry, there is no flower that matches them in texture and appearance. They like low temperatures, so we grow them only in spring. But believe us, you will miss them terribly all year until the next spring! One plant produces at least 12 flowers. Colibri Rosa "Chiaro Pastello" are delicate shades of skin-tone, champagne, apricot, and peach. A gem!

Large double flowers are missing at the turn of spring and summer. The last Ranunculus finish blooming and there is plenty of time before the first Dahlias arrive.

We harvest when the bud cracks, sear the ends of the stems in water for a few seconds, and let them finish opening in the vase. Peony Poppy Salmon is a warm pink color. For drying, we harvest mature poppy heads, roughly from mid-July. Just hang them upside down, in a dry and ventilated place, out of sunlight.

We think mixing different textures is the most beautiful approach for both bouquets and flower beds. And we haven't seen an effect like the one created by this ornamental grass before! After blooming, the top of the stem bursts into a delicate firework display. We use it in wedding corsages all the time; it creates a wonderful impression in bouquets, and in larger quantities in a flower bed, it is pure charm! They are also great for drying! Harvest when the blooms are mature (their light green color is replaced by darker shades of green to brown). Just hang them upside down in a dry, ventilated place out of direct sunlight.
