What types of flower seeds does Oreshka Seeds offer?

Oreshka Seeds offers 133 flower varieties split across two collections: Annual Flower Seeds (87 varieties — Sunflower, Aster, Nasturtium, Marigold, Calendula, Cornflower, Dahlia, Snapdragon and more) and Perennial Flower Seeds (46 varieties — Peony, Lupine, Hibiscus, Delphinium, Rudbeckia, Columbine and more). All seeds are sourced fresh each season.

Which flower seeds are easiest to grow from seed for beginners?

Annual flowers are generally the easiest starting point: Sunflower, Nasturtium and Marigold germinate in 7–14 days at 18–22°C with no stratification needed. Among perennials, Lupine and Chamomile are beginner-friendly — both germinate within 2–3 weeks at room temperature.

Can I grow these flower seeds in Zone 5, UK or Northern Europe?

Yes. The majority of annual varieties in this collection thrive in Zone 5–8. Among perennials, Lupine (Lupinus polyphyllus), Tree Peony (Paeonia suffruticosa), Rudbeckia and Aquilegia are all cold-hardy to Zone 4–5 and perform well in the UK, Germany and Scandinavia. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the one exception — it requires Zone 9+ or indoor overwintering.

What is the difference between annual and perennial flower seeds?

Annual flowers complete their full life cycle — germination, flowering, seed set — in one growing season, then die. Perennials return for 3 or more years from the same root system. Oreshka's annual collection (87 SKU) delivers blooms the same summer you sow; the perennial collection (46 SKU) requires one season of establishment before reaching full flowering potential.

Can flower seeds be grown permanently in pots and containers?

Most annual varieties grow well in containers of 3–5 litres or more: Nasturtium, Marigold, Snapdragon and dwarf Sunflower varieties are particularly well-suited. Compact perennials like Campanula carpatica, Bellis perennis and Aquilegia also thrive in 5–10 litre pots with annual top-dressing.

How long does it take for flower seeds to bloom after sowing?

Annual varieties typically bloom 8–14 weeks after sowing. Sunflower reaches first bloom in 60–70 days; Nasturtium in 50–60 days; Aster in 90–100 days. Perennials require more patience: Lupine flowers in its second year, Tree Peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) takes 3–5 years from seed to first bloom.

Venus flytrap, Dionaea, Dionaea Muscipula.

One of the most amazing predatory flowers. A unique perennial herbaceous insectivorous plant. When grown indoors, the height of the plant is no more than 15 cm. Make yourself or your loved ones and friends the most unusual gift by buying the seeds of this amazing plant.

The leaves are 3 to 7 cm long and are adapted for catching and digesting insects. Traps are formed at the ends of the leaves (two green flaps that can slam shut). In bright light, the inner walls of the trap acquire a reddish color. The edges of the flaps are covered with bristles and have triggers. When the triggers are irritated, the trap slams shut.

The flowers are white, 1-2 cm in diameter, collected in an inflorescence. The aroma is pleasant, sweet. Flowering in May-June for 1-2 months.

Growing requirements: high humidity, bright sunlight (at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight per day) and acidic, well-drained soil with a low mineral content. The temperature range during the period of active growth is +22-+30C, in winter it is necessary to lower the temperature to +8C.

All the necessary nutrients from the digestion of insects, so fertilizers are strictly not recommended.
