A full sun position will ensure your plant thrives and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Fortex is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors. Ensure your soil has a ph of between 6.0 and 6.8 as Fortex is a weakly acidic soil loving plant.

Growing Fortex from seed

Look to ensure a distance 3.9 inches (10.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) deep. Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Fortex about 14 days after your last frost date.

Transplanting Fortex

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Fortex is a tender plant.
