Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus "wild") 2g, ~420 seeds
875 Ft
The cornflower (Centaurea cyanus) is one of our best known and most loved wild flowers, along with the poppy. Loved by pollinators, it flowers for a relatively long time in the garden. It is a medicinal herb, its flowers are edible, it used to be used to make dye, but it is also excellent for tea, which also gives it a beautiful colour. Early spring sowing with early flowering is an important time for pollinators, but it can also be sown in the autumn, in which case it will have bushier growth in spring/early summer. This...

A well-known wildflower is the field marigold (Cichorium intybus), which attracts pollinators with its pollen. Its flowering in autumn is an important time for pollinators.

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) 10 g, ~200 seeds
875 Ft
Although it is not a native species, safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) can play a very important and useful role in small gardens for pollinators and birds. In summer, it is a favourite of pollinators, while in the winter months its seeds can be an important food source for many bird species (hence its inclusion in the Bird Lure Seed Mix). Historically, safflower has been cultivated for over 4000 years and has been used in many...

Milk thistle (Galium verum) 1g, ~3200 seeds

The milkweed (Galium verum) is a native Hungarian wildflower that attracts many pollinators and is also a food plant for many butterfly species (including many of our protected butterflies, the sedge). It was used to make cheese, hence its name ('gala' means milk in Greek). It can also be used as a yellow dye, and in the past it was used not only to rennet milk but also to colour cheese, for example Gloucester cheese has a strong yellowish-orange colour...

Black Mallow Rose (Alcea rosea "Nigra") 2g, ~100 seeds
875 Ft
The Black Mallow Rose (Alcea rosea 'Nigra') has a long tradition in Hungarian gardens and its pollen is also very popular with pollinators. Historically, the varieties were introduced to Europe from south-west China in the 15th century and, according to my information, the black colour variation was created by Hungarian breeding. In the Middle Ages, various parts of the plant were used for medicinal purposes, such as anti-inflammatory and digestive treatment, and as a dyeing plant...

Painted chickweed (Anthemis tinctoria) 1g, ~2250 seeds
875 Ft
The Painted Peppermint (Anthemis tinctoria) is a common wildflower, a biennial or short-lived perennial. In the old days its flowers were used to make yellow dye mixed with alum, hence the name. It would also make a lovely addition to rock gardens: it is particularly well suited because of its short stature and drought tolerance. Its leaves resemble those of chamomile, as does its close relative, the parlagi mint (the latter is easily confused with chamomile).
