SEEDS and BULBS
Sunflower
SunflowerThe sunflower, the well-known sunflowers, is a favorite summer plant to decorate our garden or balcony to give us its impressive flowering. The name of the sunflower comes from the fact that its head constantly turns towards the sun’s rays during the day and turns again, in the morning hours, towards the east. The dwarf varieties of sunflower, which reach up to 40-50 cm in height, are suitable for pots, while for the garden we prefer the taller varieties that exceed one meter and are also edible.

Demorphoteca
DemorphotecaDemorphoteca is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant native to South Africa that blooms from spring to autumn and produces many daisy-shaped flowers. Demorphoteca is a favorite plant of horticulturists in gardens and rock gardens, while it is also chosen by amateur gardeners for planting in pots, planters and hanging baskets. There are two types of Demorphoteca, the upright varieties and the creeping varieties. We choose the rectangular bi-shaped containers to give a more compact shape to the flowers in pots and planters. We plant the creeping Demorphoteca for ground cover in the garden and create a blooming carpet of flowers.

GazaniaGazania is an annual, herbaceous, summer flower characterized by low growth, dense vegetation and large, daisy-like flowers. The colors of the gazania flowers are many and impressive: orange, yellow, burgundy, white, as well as two-tone in many combinations. Gazania is an excellent choice of plant for ground cover in the garden, as well as for planting on the balcony in low pots. Although endemic to South Africa, gazania has now acclimatized and is found in Mediterranean countries. It has a long flowering period, as it blooms from early spring until very late autumn. Gazania prefers well-draining soil and general-purpose potting soil when potted. Gazania loves planting sites with strong sunlight for several hours a day. It is considered a plant that is very resistant to coastal plantings, as it is very resistant to salts. It is quite sensitive to the cold of winter, especially when planted in a pot.
