Spring awakening: These are the plant trends in Oschatz 2025!

In the Oschatz region, the garden season after Cor week begins in full swing. The Blumenhaus Gatter in Wermsdorf has a high demand for young plants, especially for flowers and vegetable bones. The prices for these plants vary greatly; While simple varieties are inexpensive, refined and resistant breeds cost significantly more. The popular plants during this time include horn violets, daffodils, tulips and daisies, which are also known as Bellies, such as lvz.de reported.

The season is of great importance, especially for around 37 million garden owners in Germany who need new young plants and seeds every year. In 2024, around 50 euros will be spent on garden plants per capita, of which part of the trees and perennials are eliminated. This shows the growing interest in gardening among the population, which reached a climax, especially during the Corona pandemic, when the industry recorded sales of over 15 billion euros.

Important signs of the season: The ice saints

An important point in time in May are the ice saints, which usually take place between May 11 and 15. These cold days are crucial for gardeners because they bring cold collapse with possible ground frost. Especially after this period, frost -sensitive plants such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers can be planted on the field. The ice saints in 2025 are specifically from May 11th to 15th, whereby the individual saints Mamertus, Pankratius, Servatius, Bonifatius and the "Cold Sophie" are celebrated, as is also described on rootwerk.net

The tradition of ice saints originated in the Middle Ages, as farmers with the commemorative days combined the risk of late frosts. Meteorological records confirm frequent cold collapse at this time of year. Many gardeners and farmers are therefore waiting with the plants of frost -sensitive cultures to the “cold sophie” to avoid harvesting losses.

preparation for plant time

The Blumenhaus Gatter plans to get new goods from the wholesale every day to cover the basic needs of customers. The trend towards raised beds for herbs and vegetables, especially among young people, remains strong. Demand increases after Holy Week, but many garden fans are waiting for the safer temperatures after the ice saints, as night frosts can still occur after this period.

Scientific research and traditional knowledge are increasingly combined to minimize risks. At the same time, experts observe the effects of climate change, which lead to shifted weather patterns and new challenges in agriculture. In Germany, the likelihood of soil frost is around 20 percent in mid -May, and there are regional differences that are also important for garden planning. In southern Germany, late frosts often occur later, while northern Germany is protected by maritime influences, as can be seen on Gartenblog.de

gardener Dina Gatter still gives the hobby gardeners the advice of keeping their eyes open despite the warm temperatures and not underestimating the ice saints. Many garden fans should keep an eye on the weather forecasts to ensure that they set their sensitive plants in the best period. So gardening in the Oschatz region remains an exciting undertaking during this critical period.
