Cold-Frame Grow House + Lisianthus 18-Pack – a three-tier mini greenhouse plus 18 premium Lisianthus plugs that let South-African growers beat Cape winter storms and harvest florist-grade stems up to a month earlier. Tool-free assembly; perfect for flower farms, market gardens and balconies.
Why this kit is a winter game-changer
-
Season extender – clear PE cover traps solar warmth so July sowings thrive.
-
Storm protection – zip-up doorway shields tender plugs from wind, hail and heavy rain.
-
Space-smart – three ventilated shelves (10 kg each) give you room for Lisianthus plus extra seedlings.
-
Five-minute set-up – click-fit, powder-coated steel frame; no tools needed.
How it works
The cold-frame uses the classic greenhouse effect: sunlight passes through the clear polyethylene cover, warming the air and potting mix inside. At night the reinforced PE skin slows heat loss, keeping temperatures 3–7 °C higher than outside—just enough to keep Lisianthus actively growing through Cape winter lows. Integrated zip vents let you control humidity; unzip half-way on mild days to release excess moisture and prevent diseases such as botrytis. Shelves are spaced to maximise airflow, so warm air rises through the tiers and seedlings root evenly.
