Product description
Stock 'Brompton Mixed' is a robust biennial that stands out in any garden with its tall stems topped with clusters of highly fragrant, double flowers. Available in a range of vibrant colours, these plants are particularly prized for their strong scent, making them a delightful addition to borders and cutting gardens. Their tall stature and striking blooms also make them excellent for creating height and interest in garden displays.
To cultivate Stock 'Brompton Mixed', sow the seeds indoors between February and April in seed trays or pots. Maintain a temperature of 15-18C and cover the seeds lightly with compost, ensuring the soil remains moist. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle and all danger of frost has passed, they can be transplanted outdoors. Space them 30cm apart in well-drained soil, in a location that receives full sun or partial shade.
As biennials, these plants will flower in the second year, typically from June to September. Their long-lasting blooms are perfect for cutting and bringing indoors to enjoy their fragrance and beauty up close. Regular watering and deadheading will encourage a prolonged flowering period, ensuring your garden remains vibrant throughout the summer.
