The large, showy richly fragrant flower spikes come in a fine mixture of colours including crimson, scarlet, rose, pink, purple, lavender and white.Eminently suitable for cutting, a fragrant bed of stocks in the garden makes spring and early summer delightful. There is very little to match stocks for their fragrance, flower displays and ease of growing.The plants need a position in full sun with moist well-drained soil, they will benefit from a light dressing of lime. The taller species will need staking and should be sited in a protected position where they will be sheltered from wind. Where winter rainfall is heavy, plant in raised beds for good drainage. |
