The 'Nora Barlow' columbine variety is a historical gem, discovered in Cambridge in the 1980s by the granddaughter of the famous Charles Darwin. This unique plant is characterized by non-traditional flowers, whose coloration smoothly transitions from dusty pink through white to delicate greenish tones. Naturally, columbines occur in light forests, so they are best suited to a partially shaded location with well-draining loamy soil full of humus. They are versatile flowers suitable for rustic cottage gardens as well as natural compositions. Their charm lies not only in the flowers attracting bees but also in the early-sprouting green leaves. Beginners can handle their cultivation, the plants survive even extreme frosts, and they willingly self-seed in the garden. Just remember that columbine is poisonous, and it is good to occasionally check it for aphids, slugs, or powdery mildew. The stems blooming during May and June will add lightness to the flowerbeds.

Columbines add a natural flair to perennial beds and even reliably self-seed in their favorite spots. Furthermore, they are highly valued for their green leaves, which form a beautiful undergrowth. In bouquets, they create an incredibly fresh, airy impression and will hold their shape in a vase for a full seven days.

The common columbine is a popular spring perennial that inherently belongs in both traditional and modern gardens.

Despite its fragile appearance, it is a very resilient plant that thrives best in partial shade or sun, in well-drained loamy and humous soil with regular watering. You will receive an already grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flowerbed. Once established, it handles even severe frosts dropping below thirty degrees without problems. Moreover, caring for it is so easy that even complete beginners can easily manage it. The plant is avoided by pests and diseases, and it needs no support to reach a height of over one meter. The spectacular look of meadow rue is ensured not only by its tiny pinnate leaves but primarily by the flowers themselves. These grow from mid-summer to autumn in loose panicles on thin, purplish-colored stems. The individual small flowers have a delicate lilac shade with yellow stamens conspicuously protruding from them. In flowerbeds, they provide a beautiful airy lace effect that perfectly complements the heavier and fuller flowers of other perennials. During the long flowering period, bees and other pollinators fondly land on the plant. Although the entire plant is poisonous, it has an irreplaceable place in the garden. If you enjoy creating fresh bouquets, meadow rue will guaranteed please you.

Oriental poppy Beauty of Livermere brings an unmistakable energy to June flower beds thanks to its giant bowl-shaped flowers. It originally comes from the Caucasus, Turkey, and Iran, where it is at home on rocky slopes and dry meadows. Therefore, it suits full sun and well-drained, loamy soil with medium moisture. We send customers an already grown seedling in a pot, which you just need to transplant straight to the chosen spot at a spacing of fifty centimeters. It is a perennial ideal for beginners, absolutely does not suffer from diseases, and reliably withstands even extreme frosts down to minus forty degrees. The cultivar Beauty of Livermere stands out with a shade sharper red color of the petals than the classic Brilliant variety and reaches a height of around sixty to eighty centimeters. The striking flowers act as a magnet for pollinators. It is typical for Oriental poppies that their strikingly fuzzy green leaves die back after flowering and the plant rests over the summer. New leaves will sprout again at the end of summer. Therefore, we recommend planting other perennials in close proximity that sprout later and cover the empty space. The poppy forms a wonderful spectacle not only in the bed but also in a vase. For use in bouquets, we harvest the stems at the moment when the buds color and slightly crack. The ends of the stems must be seared with a flame for about twenty seconds and immediately placed in cold water, thanks to which the flowers will stay beautiful for four days. The only minor danger to the roots can be the occasional occurrence of the field vole.

The Astolat cultivar stands out with firm stems up to a meter and a half tall, which from June carry rich inflorescences of large pink flowers with a contrasting center. During summer, these flowers reliably attract bees, bumblebees, and other pollinators. After the first blooming, we recommend cutting the plant back, which will encourage another wave of blooming at the end of summer in August and September. Growing larkspurs requires a bit more attention, so it is better suited for more advanced growers. For them to stand out well and reach their full height, they need to be given enough space; the optimal spacing is around sixty centimeters. Do not forget regular fertilizing and copious watering, because in dry soil they can suffer and be more susceptible to powdery mildew. In spring, it is also important to protect the sprouting shoots from slugs and snails. However, the care invested will pay off richly. We often see them in the company of roses and peonies, with which they form a perfect romantic composition. The entire plant is poisonous, which is good to consider when choosing a planting site. On the other hand, it will please you with its tremendous frost resistance; it can easily handle temperatures dropping down to minus thirty-four degrees. We can fully enjoy their beauty not only in flowerbeds but also in fresh bouquets. For cutting into a vase, choose stems at the time when the bottom flowers are opening. They will last approximately seven days in water, just be careful not to place the vase near ripening fruit. They are sensitive to ethylene, which causes rapid shedding of petals. You can also try drying them for floristic purposes. If you hang the inflorescences in a dark and airy place, the flowers will perfectly retain their rich pink color and serve as an interesting element for winter decorations.

And the taste for travel has remained with the hollyhock. It often self-seeds and you will find it in a place where you certainly didn't plant it. Naturally, it is a biennial or short-lived perennial. However, its instability is balanced by beautiful double flowers and a distinct silhouette and height. It is suitable for cutting and was also used for dyeing and as a medicinal plant. The Chater's series includes proven varieties with pompon-like double flowers.

Larkspur Benary’s Pacific King Arthur is an unmistakable classic and a true dominant feature among border perennials.

It grows to a height of one hundred to one hundred and fifty centimeters, and therefore it will become an unmissable vertical element of any planting. The abundant flowers reliably attract bees and other pollinators. Although larkspurs are a bit more demanding to care for, as slugs like to feast on them and in dense plantings they can occasionally suffer from powdery mildew, their beauty is definitely worth a little attention. Moreover, the entire plant is poisonous, which conversely protects it from other animals. It will survive the winter here without any problems, handling frosts down to minus thirty-four degrees. You will appreciate this magnificent perennial not only when looking at a blooming flower bed, but also at home on your table. Its sturdy stems are perfectly suited for cutting into summer bouquets. The fresh flower will bring you joy in a vase for approximately seven days. Just pay close attention not to place it near a bowl of ripening fruit, as it is very sensitive to released ethylene, which shortens its vase life. If you want to preserve the purple-blue beauty for a longer time, you can simply dry the long stems with flowers for floral purposes. Even after drying, they retain their rich color very well and perfectly liven up various long-lasting winter decorations and arrangements.
