Six shades of blue for a garden full of space and lightness
Blue flowers have a very special effect in the garden. Light sky blue makes plantings appear airy and expansive, while strong blue and darker violet tones create depth and striking accents. Combined with white, silver, pink or fresh green, they create varied garden displays ranging from romantic natural gardens to classic perennial beds.
The "Blue Blossom Dream" seed gift set brings together six selected plants with very different shades of blue, flower forms and growth habits. Delicate forget-me-not flowers meet the unusual flower heads of mountain cornflower and globe thistle, elegant delphinium spires meet fine perennial flax and the large sky-blue funnels of morning glory. Each species comes in its own seed packet and can therefore be sown in a targeted way and later combined individually.
Six blue-flowering plants for varied garden displays
Wood forget-me-not (Myosotis sylvatica)
With its small, bright sky-blue flowers, wood forget-me-not is one of the classic spring flowers. This delicate plant is ideal for natural-style garden areas, light woodland edges and romantic plantings. Through self-seeding, it can reappear in the garden for many years in suitable locations.
Mountain cornflower (Centaurea montana)
This robust perennial stands out with its unusual, intensely blue-violet flower heads. It has been a valued garden plant for centuries and fits especially well into natural-style perennial beds. Its flowers are readily visited by bees, bumblebees and butterflies, while the seed heads can also be interesting for birds in autumn.
Pacific giant delphinium 'Magic Fountains Dark Blue/Dark Bee' (Delphinium cultorum)
This more compact-growing delphinium variety forms dense flower spires in strong dark blue with a dark centre. It creates upright, impressive accents in the perennial bed and is also excellent as a cut flower. The distinctive flower spikes bring an intense, classic blue note to the collection.
Blue globe thistle (Echinops ritro)
Globe thistle forms almost perfectly spherical, steel-blue to blue-violet flower heads on strong stems. Its unusual form creates an exciting contrast to the softer flowers of the other plants in the set. It is an attractive bedding and cut flower, and its blooms are intensely visited by various pollinators.
Perennial flax (Linum perenne)
Perennial flax combines fine, delicate foliage with numerous soft sky-blue flowers. Its light appearance fits especially well into loose perennial plantings, natural gardens and sunny beds. The individual flowers seem almost to float and give plantings a natural lightness.
Morning glory 'Heavenly Blue' (Ipomoea tricolor)
'Heavenly Blue' bears large, funnel-shaped flowers in a particularly intense sky blue. This climbing plant, originally from Mexico and not frost-hardy, produces numerous flowers during the summer and climbs fences, trellises, pergolas or other garden structures with suitable support. As the only climbing plant in the set, it brings the effect of blue flowers upwards as well.
Flower diversity for bees, bumblebees and butterflies
The six plants included differ clearly in flower form, growth height and flowering period. This creates not only a varied blue garden display, but also a diverse supply of flowers. Mountain cornflower, globe thistle, delphinium and perennial flax in particular are visited by different pollinators.
The mix of low, delicate plants, classic perennials, strong flower heads and a climbing plant allows for many different design ideas. This means the "Blue Blossom Dream" can be integrated both into natural-style plantings and into classic flower and perennial beds.
Sowing and care of the Blue Blossom Dream
As the set contains six different plant species, sowing time, germination behaviour and life cycle vary. Some species can be sown directly outdoors in spring, while protected pre-cultivation is recommended for others. Thanks to the individual seed packets, each plant can be sown according to its own requirements.
Site requirements range from light, fresher garden spots for wood forget-me-not to sunny locations for mountain cornflower, globe thistle, perennial flax and delphinium. Morning glory loves a warm, sheltered place and needs a climbing support. During germination, the seeds should be kept evenly moist without waterlogging.
Mountain cornflower, globe thistle and perennial flax are perennial plants. Delphinium can also be cultivated in the garden for several years. Wood forget-me-not is short-lived, but often maintains itself by self-seeding in suitable locations. The frost-sensitive morning glory is grown as an annual in our climate.
The included sowing instructions contain the most important advice for successfully growing the individual species. After separate sowing, the plants can later be combined according to your own ideas to create a blue flower garden.
A special gift for lovers of blue flowers
The seed gift set contains one seed packet each of wood forget-me-not, mountain cornflower, delphinium 'Magic Fountains Dark Blue/Dark Bee', blue globe thistle, perennial flax and morning glory 'Heavenly Blue'. This creates a varied selection of wildflowers, perennials and summer flowers in different shades of blue and violet.
The six seed packets are supplied together with detailed sowing instructions in German and English in decorative gift packaging. This makes the "Blue Blossom Dream" a sustainable gift for garden fans, flower lovers and anyone with a special fondness for blue flowers. Put together by gardeners for gardeners, the set combines expressive colours with varied plants and the joy of sowing your own seeds.
