florea-lila-honungsfacelia-2

Lacy Phacelia

An easy-to-grow, fast-growing herb that combines beauty and utility in every little flowering stalk. Honeyfacelia produces a sea of beautiful lavender-blue flowers. The finely lobed inflorescences unfurl like little spirals and attract all kinds of pollinators such as bees, butterflies and bumblebees in abundance. With its strong growing power, it covers the ground like a bright silk field while improving the soil. In fact, Honeyfacelia increases the soil&#8217;s moisture content because it is a green manure plant.
This deer-resistant plant is also drought-resistant once established and is therefore particularly suitable in places where irrigation is a little limited. It is also great to use as a cut flower!

Zinnia - Benary's Giant Salmon Rose

A fantastic zinnia variety with large, beautiful, dahlia-like flowers in beautiful salmon pink color. The variety is known for its long and strong stems, but also for its incredibly long vase life. Benary&#8217;s Giant Salmon Rose is also extra resistant to mildew and drought, which we at Florea really think are two big pluses.
This is a recurring favorite at the home of our founder Erik Hoekstra who usually co-planted Benary&#8217;s Giant Salmon Rose together with the palm cabbage Nero Di Toscana. Because the variety has very long stems, they weave in so beautifully with the dark palm cabbage.
