$1.01The Story
Old-fashioned variety that makes a great cut flower or pretty border plant. A prolific bloomer, airy stems are covered in small, pompom-like blooms. The fluffy white flowers have delicate golden centres pretty on their own or in mixed bouquets.
Sowing Matricaria
Sow seed in trays to start them off. Don't cover seeds, rather lightly press into the soil surface, as seed benefits from light to assist germination. Once germinated and frost risk has passed you can transplant these into the garden.
Growing Location of Matricaria
Choose a sunny position to encourage abundant flowering and strong upright stems. A spot with free draining soil is also imporant to support healthy root development and steady seasonal growth. Borders, cottage gardens and dedicated cutting patches all provide suitable placement for Matricaria Tetra.
Maintaining Matricaria
Water during prolonged dry periods to maintain continuous blooming. Pinch out early tips to encourage bushier plants with more flowering stems. Keeping good airflow between plants also helps to reduce risk of mildew in humid conditions.
Harvesting Matricaria
Matricaria Tetra can be kept in the garden for visual appeal in borders or cut stems for beautiful blooms in vases. Regular picking promotes further bud formation throughout summer. Airy flower heads can also dry well, extending decorative use beyond the fresh season.
