Matthiola Incana (Hoary stock)

Many flowers promise scent, but stock really delivers, with a strong, spicy fragrance.

These are early bloomers that prefer the cool temperatures of spring along with full sunlight. There’s a wide choice of colors, including white, pink, lavender, yellow, and deep reds. The plants don’t grow particularly tall and can make nice edging plants. There are dwarf varieties that reach less than one foot and others that approach three feet. Popular varieties include Matthiola longipetala and M. Incana, while Matthiola Bicornis releases its scent at night.
