When to Grow

Baby High Double Cream runs 80 to 90 days from sowing to bloom, short enough that you can succession plant across the early-spring window and keep cutting rather than sowing once. Transplant or direct seed in place a quarter inch deep, with indoor sowings started about one month before planting out. The plants are short and multi-branching, so each one sends up several strong stems; set them 8 to 12 inches apart in full sun and well-draining soil. Stick to the spring window, since blooming falls off in summer's heat.

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.
