Katz Bright Rose Matthiola

Matthiola Katz Bright Rose is an upright stock bred for uniform stem length and flowering time in field or high-tunnel production. PanAmerican Seed lists a 32-inch mature height and spring and autumn flowering, with a bright rose color selection. ## Characteristics The grower reports that Katz matthiola produces approximately 50% double-flowering plants. Its profile lists 32-inch stems and a crop time of eight to thirteen weeks after transplanting, following a four-week plug stage. The series is intended for cut-flower production and offers timing options for seasonal harvests. ## Growing Plant in sun. PanAmerican Seed says Katz can tolerate heat better than European or traditional field types and can be grown earlier or later in the season; year-round production is described for some climates only. The developer also notes that timing can be programmed for holiday markets.

Plan sowing and transplanting around local temperatures and the target season; the production guidance does not establish universal outdoor hardiness or year-round garden bloom.
