Stock Matthiola Incana Mixed Color Flower Seeds

Intensely Fragrant Spikes That Fill the Garden with Perfume

Stock (Matthiola incana) is one of the most gloriously fragrant flowers you can grow — a timeless cottage garden classic prized as much for its intoxicating clove-like perfume as for its beautiful blooms. This Mixed Color variety produces tall, densely packed spikes of fully double flowers in a stunning palette of pink, red, white, purple, lavender, cream, and bicolour.

Elegant, long-stemmed, and wonderfully fragrant, Stock is a premium cut flower that also makes a spectacular display in garden borders and pots. A single plant can perfume an entire room — making it a favourite for home gardens, balconies, and floral arrangements alike.

Sowing Tips

Sow seeds in seed trays with well-draining, moist potting mix. Cover lightly with soil and keep in a cool, bright location — Stock prefers cool temperatures for germination. Transplant seedlings once they have 3–4 true leaves. Water regularly at the base and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 2 weeks. Stock thrives in cool weather and may struggle in high heat — best grown as a winter annual in India.
