Stock, Chanter Alto Light Pink

Early flowering, spray type. A delightful rosy-pink stock from Japan, it features multiple branches and flowers borne at the top of their tall stalks. Plants reach 35-40 inches tall, and the blooms emit an enchanting clove-like fragrance, making this variety a sublime choice for arranging. Stock is a very charming cousin of the cabbage, and the f lowers are edible and quite delicious. They can be used as a natural food dye and flavoring; we have used them to dye everything from rice to cookies and they are great tossed fresh into salads.
