Sunflower - White Sun F1

A new and completely unique sunflower variety with beautiful white petals and a yellow center. A fabulous sunflower that really stands out and distinguishes itself so much that it is already counted as the favorite of the summer. This variety becomes a magical eye-catcher in flower beds and plantings or in larger pots. It has stately and robust stems that are excellent for cutting, and with its enchanting appearance, it becomes the ultimate bouquet flower. The white sunflowers are lovely in a vase by themselves, but also mixed with other charming flower varieties.
This white beauty is a clear favorite of us at Florea and our ambassadors, but also of all our pollinators. A unique variety that enchants both big and small and creates magic in the garden, on the balcony, or in bouquets.

Carrot - Rainbow Mix F1

A colorful carrot mix and a taste sensation beyond the ordinary. The fancy carrots come in orange, yellow, white, and purple colors, each with a unique taste that together creates a magical flavor sensation, but also very delicious on their own. Imagine a plate of oven-roasted carrots with this mix on a late summer evening in July? Or why not grill them and surprise your guests with a real summer fireworks display of colors and flavors.
The variety is as appetizing to eat as it is decorative to the eye and is equally popular with adults and children. The carrots are just as fun to harvest as they are to eat!

Cucumber - Marketmore ECO

A popular and fast-growing cucumber variety that produces abundant harvests of medium-sized cucumbers with a good and appealing taste. The variety is a predecessor to many of today&#8217;s more refined cucumbers, which makes it highly talked about in common parlance. Marketmore is robust and fast-growing, and produces abundant harvests throughout the season. The cucumber variety is especially popular because it can develop even in slightly colder climates and has high disease resistance.
Marketmore is excellent for salads, as a sandwich topping, or for various types of pickling. Something we at Florea highly recommend for this variety is cheese gratin cucumber. All you need is:
<ul>
<li>600g of Marketmore cucumbers</li>
<li>200g of white cheese (a whole piece)</li>
<li>1 pressed clove of garlic</li>
<li>A little rocket/arugula to top with</li>
</ul>
Cut the cucumbers in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Then mash the white cheese and mix it with crème fraîche and garlic. Then spread the creamy mixture on the cucumber. Cut the cucumber into 4-5 cm long pieces and place them on a greased sheet or in an ovenproof dish. Bake in the middle of the oven at 200°C for about 20 minutes. Perfect to eat as is or serve with fried meat, fish, or vegetables of various kinds.

Cucamelon - Mouse Melon

The Cucamelon  is a fantastic cultural heritage from 1866 and is actually a Mexican watermelon. With its enchanting small oval cucumbers with a sweet and sour taste, the cucamelon has become a great favorite in many homes. In addition to the wonderful green-speckled skin, it is also a fabulous climbing plant that looks very decorative in both greenhouses and on trellises.
The variety is perfect for summer salads, various types of pickling, and even for stir-fry dishes. A hot tip from us at Florea is to use cucamelon in tzatziki. The variety is perfect for that purpose with its sweet and sour taste.

Marigold - Pink Surprise

Gorgeous, multi-layered flowers in a lovely color combination of apricot, powder pink, and creamy yellow. This variety is an excellent cut flower and looks lovely in bouquets. It also fits well in borders and is incredibly easy to grow. It blooms beautifully well into the autumn and is known to be a very healthy variety that rarely suffers from disease. Not even slugs seem to want to eat the marigold, which is a big plus for gardens that struggle with these unwelcome guests.
The flowers are edible and become incredibly decorative on pastries, in salads, or as garnish on dishes. Marigold can also be used in tea as it is said to have a calming effect on stress and anxiety. It is also popular to make both marigold oil and homemade skin ointment from this variety. The marigold has long been known for its medicinal effects, such as being cleansing, nourishing, and soothing for irritated skin. The magical flower is so gentle on the body that it suits both sensitive and dry skin as well as oily and impure skin. It is also antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and strengthens the immune system.

This seed mix includes the varieties: Detroit 2 (red), Burpees Golden (yellow), Albina Vereduna (white), and Chioggia (polka-colored). Each beet and color has a personal, appetizing taste with its own unique touch. Together, they become incredibly decorative in dishes or as a side dish.
Imagine a summer plate of oven-roasted beets in enchanting colors with Chevré and honey, or a colorful fireworks display of pickled beets for hash. This variety is a special and incredibly fun growing experience for young and old, but perhaps it is most appreciated by our youngest. Harvesting the beets to see which color comes up from the ground is just as fun as eating the fabulous palette of goodies on the plate.

Sunflower - Giganteus

An old-fashioned and strong-growing variety with plate-sized, golden yellow flowers with a dark center. The plant is incredibly tall and therefore very decorative against fences, walls, or in the background of plantings. The variety is highly appreciated by pollinators such as butterflies, bees, and bumblebees, as well as by winter birds that like to eat the seeds in the center when the season draws to a close.
This is a clear favorite among our youngest gardeners. The seeds are large and easy to sow, and the sunflower&#8217;s journey of development is incredibly fun to follow. Many children become very excited about how quickly they grow and how incredibly tall they can become. When the sunflower reaches a height of 2-3 meters, not only our youngest but also everyone else is impressed by the enormous and sunny yellow flower.
