  • Medium

Keep in mind when planting that Matrix mix is thought of as half hardy, so remember to watch your frost dates and ensure you have this plant protected when the temperature dips.

Growing Matrix mix from seed

Germinate on serface of a damp seed sowing mix. Apply a fine sprinkling of vermiculite, just covering the seed. Place in propagator or seal container inside a plastic bag till after germination – 10-15 days. If seeds do not germinate in 10-21 days, place container in fridge for 2 weeks, then return to indoors. After germination, transplant when large enough to handle into 3" pots. Acclimatise to outdoors 10-15 days before planting 9" apart.

Ensure a distance of 8.97 inches (23.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.0 inches (0.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 18°C / 64°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Matrix mix about 90 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting Matrix mix

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Matrix mix is a half hardy plant.
