The Katz Mix features a charming blend of soft and bold tones like apricots, creamy yellows, shades of pink, white, wine red, to a dark purple. You can expect uniform bloom times and consistent stem lengths; just what any flower farmer wants to hear!
You can select for double blooms, or leave it up to Mother Nature with approximately 55-60% rate for doubles. For continual harvest, succession sow every 2-3 weeks.

Sowing:
Transplant (recommended): Start indoors 5-6 weeks before transplanting out. Do not pinch plants.
Direct Seeding: Sow outdoors after last frost has passed. Do not pinch plants.
Care: Growers can select for doubles in early stages. Please note that this is a single-stem variety of stock (i.e., one-cut harvest). We strongly advise against pinching, as you would be pinching off the flowering stem. Stock prefers cool weather. May benefit from horizontal netting in windy areas.
Harvesting:
Fresh: Harvest when bottom third to half of florets are open. Florets will continue to open up the stem after harvest.
Dried: Not a common dried flower, but feel free to experiment!
