The Matrix series is a very well-branched, large-flowered Pansy intended for colder weather yet also easier than others to start in hot summers for fall production. While some varieties are grown to tolerate the warm springs and falls of the south and west, the Matrix varieties do just the opposite: they put up with icy winds and rains, falling temperatures, and all manner of Old Man Winter!Reaching about 8 inches high and 8 to 10 inches wide, they are little powerhouses that really know how to hang on through tough times.
Coastal Sunrise is a mix of three splendid Matrix® colors, all with large, velvety black faces: a deep blue, a rich ruby red, and a peach-tinged gold. The blooms appear on short stems that turn them toward the sun, so you get a color show you won't soon forget! All three colors open at the same time, last the same length of time, and are generally boon companions!
Use Coastal Sunrise in containers of all types as well as the annual garden bed. It looks terrific in flowerpots, and really shows off at eye-level in windowboxes and hayricks. In the garden, it's a great contrast in texture and form to ornamental kale and cabbage, towery spikes of snapdragons, and other cool-season beauties.
Germinate these seeds in darkness, starting them indoors in summer for fall bloom or in mid-winter for spring flowering. They prefer a bit of shade in all but the coolest climates. And you simply won't believe how long they will flower for you! Packet of 25 seeds.
These plants are used as bedding and edging, and in showy container displays. They all have flat, dainty, single flowers and the perennials have green, heart-shaped leaves while the annuals have green, ovate, deeply lobed leaves. V. cornuta, is a rhizomatous plant, growing 6-12 inches tall. It bears fragrant, 1-2 inch, solid or bicolor, yellow, blue, purple, red, or apricot flowers. Hardy from Zones 6-9. V. odorata is also rhizomatous. It grows to 4 inches tall. The spring flowers are 1 inch diameter, sweetly fragrant, and colored bright or deep blue. Hardy from Zones 6-8. V. tricolor, Johnny Jump Up, is a mounded plant 10 inches tall. It bears petite flowers that are tricolored purple, yellow, and white. Grown as an early spring annual in the heat of the South, however it is hardy to Zone 4. V. x wittrockiana, Pansies and Violas, grow 9 inches tall. They bear robust, 3-4 inch flowers with solid, blotched, or faced patterns in colors of red, purple, blue, bronze, yellow, white, pink, lavender, or orange

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.

Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
