When to Grow

Direct seed Anytime Mix in place in early spring, sowing a quarter inch deep where you want the plants to bloom. Stock is frost hardy and prefers cool weather, so its planting window is spring and fall; blooming ability suffers in summer's heat, though this mix tolerates both cold and heat better than other varieties we have grown. Give plants full sun, well-draining soil, and 8 to 12 inches of space, and figure 75 to 80 days to maturity.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Start seeds indoors about one month before planting out.
  • Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep.
  • Ideal germination temperature is 60-65 F.
  • Seeds germinate in 7-21 days

How to Grow

  • Keep in mind that stocks prefer cool weather and the plants' blooming ability will suffer in summer's heat, so it is ideally suited to early spring and fall.
  • Space plants 8-12 inches apart.
  • Stocks flourish in full sun and will provide glorious blooms throughout spring.
  • When cutting, harvest stems when 1/3-1/2 of florets are open.

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • A few molds and rots can occur when overhead irrigation is used. Avoid this watering method and provide good drainage.

How to Save Seeds

  • Stocks are a brassica.
  • You can hand pick the seeds from their dried brown pods and store in a cool, dark, dry place.

How do I keep flowers coming over a longer stretch?
