Size:

7cm Pot

Variant

MATTHIOLA INCANA

The best coloured apricot/peach stock! These scented beauties are to die for!

The Katz series are about a 50/50 mix between doubles and singles. The doubles are what stock are mostly grown for but don't disregard the singles, they're a welcome touch of airy elegance compared to the densely packed doubles! And as the doubles are what are used/sold more often, I reckon the singles are their little secret weapon of uniqueness!

Plant Type: Hardy Annual

Ideal Location: Full Sun / Partial Shade

Spacing: 10–15cm

Height: 60cm+

Most stock (except for the Quartet series) only typically produce one flower stem per plant, so do not pinch!

Some sort of support is generally advised, the taller they get the better your support will need to be.

Stock are best grown in the cooler months, their flowers will be more prone to damage in warm wet spells.

Being apart of the brassica family, it's best to try and time sowing after your white butterfly numbers subside in autumn but with enough time to make it to flowering before their population explodes back in spring - or be prepared to net them and/or treat with weekly/fortnightly sprays of BT (Bacillus thuringiensis - organic bacteria) to keep the munching caterpillars under control.

Our Plant Boxes

We've designed our plant boxes to be as courier proof as physically possible to ensure your plants always arrive in top condition!

To cover the costs of our customs boxes we do however have a minimum plant order of $65 (approx. 7 plants) – you can mix & match any plants or sleeve specials to meet the minimum. (Plant Collection Boxes are however standalone boxes and do not count towards the minimums).

If you want to make the most of the shipping, our plant boxes can fit up to 10 plants per box, and for the most cost effective per plant shipping we can tape two boxes together (which fits 20 plants total).

Plant orders are shipped on Mondays (& Tuesdays).
