Stock, Vintage Brown
90-110 days. A romantic dusty-rose-colored single stem, columnular stock with fabulous fragrance. The sturdy, thick stems and closely packed blooms make this variety perfect for arrangements! The beautiful edible blooms will impart a unique color to foods as a natural dye. Plants reach 2 feet tall and produce a robust and floriferous single stem. This variety hails from Japan, where stocks are beloved for home gardening and ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging. This beautiful cousin of the cabbage has heavenly scented flowers that also taste yummy, and they have a fantastic clove-like essence! We love stocks for naturally dying foods like rice and cookies, and they make a flavorful addition to salads, fresh spring rolls and more. Such a versatile edible flower!
