GROWING INSTRUCTIONS
Hardy Annual
Spring/summer bloom.
Can handle light frost.
To Start Outdoors
Sow seeds in a well-drained, finely-textured garden bed in full sun as early in spring as soil can be worked. In mild climate areas, seeds are best sown in early fall for spring bloom. Space seeds 2 to 3 inches apart and cover 1/4 inch deep. Keep seed bed moist until seedlings emerge in 7 to 10 days. Weed carefully and keep well-watered.
To Start Early Indoors
Start seed indoors in a flat or container of seed starting mix, 6 to 8 weeks before last expected hard freeze. Sow seed thinly, cover 1/4 inch deep, and keep moist but not soggy until germination takes place in 7 to 14 days. Provide a strong light source as soon as seedlings emerge. Seedlings grow quickly and require even moisture at their earliest stages: overwatering encourages “damping off,” or rotting at the soil level.
Thin or Transplant
Space seedlings 10 inches apart when seedlings are large enough to handle.
Growing Notes
This early-blooming, branching variety produces an abundance of richly scented, mostly double flowers for indoor bouquets. In the garden, stock’s heavy trusses of bloom are beautiful in beds, borders and containers.
