Stock, also known as Gillyflower , Hoary Stock , or Ten-week Stock , produces upright spikes of fragrant, ruffled flowers in soft shades of pink, purple, white, cream, and red. It grows well in cool to mild weather , prefers full sunlight to partial shade, and is suitable for 8-12 inch pots, borders, garden beds, and cut flower arrangements. Native to the Mediterranean region, it became popular worldwide for its sweet clove-like fragrance, elegant flower spikes, and long-lasting blooms in bouquets and seasonal gardens.
