Many of our native wildflowers and wild herbs are now threatened with extinction and have ended up on the so-called Red List. There are various reasons how this came about. In most cases, we humans are directly or indirectly responsible because our current way of life leads to the destruction of many special habitats. For example, decades of intensive agriculture have led to soil overfertilization. There are hardly any lean meadows left, so the plants that inhabit these sites no longer find habitat.
In the wild, one should leave endangered plant species untouched if one discovers a rare specimen. However, one can gladly give rare species a place in their own garden and thus contribute to the preservation of the species.
This seed set contains 3 plant varieties that are threatened with extinction in nature in Germany:
-
Common cowslip (Primula veris)
One of the earliest flowering meadow flowers in the year. Its flowers and leaves are edible. But the real primrose is also an old medicinal plant.
-
Aconite / wolfsbane / Blue monk’s-hood (Aconitum napellus)
Aconite is a beautiful traditional, medicinal plant, with lovely blue to purple flowers. However all its parts are also highly toxic and care and consideration needs to be taken when choosing a position in your garden.
-
Mountain arnica, wolf's bane (Arnica montana)
Very rare and important medicinal plant of the mountains with bright yellow-orange flowers.
The seeds of each variety are packaged in a separate sachet.
The seed sachets and detailed growing instructions in German and English are packed in a beautiful gift box - a great, sustainable gift for the garden. Any plant lover will be pleased.
Attention: All 3 plant varieties are not easy to grow and require very special conditions. It takes a little patience.
