How to Grow Matthiola Katz Cherry

Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected frost. Matthiola prefers cool temperatures (ideally 60–65°F) for germination and growth. Once seedlings have developed strong roots and multiple sets of leaves, they can be hardened off and transplanted outdoors.

Plant in well-drained, rich soil in full sun to part shade. Water consistently and avoid hot, humid conditions. This stock flower thrives in spring beds, raised planters, and as part of structured floral layouts. For cut flowers, harvest when about one-third of the florets are open on the stem for best vase life.

💐 Pro tip: Succession planting a few weeks apart can extend your bloom window and allow for staggered harvests.
