Stock Katz Cherry Blossom
Potager Favourite
I just love to grow Stock flowers of every kind. The colour of these stocks are the perfect shade of cherry blossom with the lavender, pink edges blending into paler centres on each petal. Their fluffy stems transform any garden grown bouquet with a heavenly scent.
Sow from late winter onwards, surface sow in 40 or 15 cells trays. They grow quite quickly and never pinch out the tip. When the plants are large enough to prick out, it is here you will find two distinct colours in the seedlings. Light green plants should be kept as these will be doubles, the dark greens are the singles and should be discarded if you do not want these. Always so more than you need. Acclimatise before planting out after all danger of frosts have been. Try succession sowing 2 weeks apart, that way you’ll have stocks for a lot longer.
Best to harvest flowers when they are a third to half open, can last up to 10 days in clean fresh water.
Approx 40 seeds
