Nursery of annual and biennial plants

SILENE is a small-scale nursery of special annual and biennial plants with an emphasis on an unusual, unusual range of products. We want to be enchanted again by the unpretentious charm of the old-fashioned flowers from our grandparents' gardens, or we want to creatively fill pots and flower boxes with new and unusual plants from all parts of the world.
