Native to Southwestern Greece and the Mediterranean, the stock flower is believed to be a symbol of happiness.

This stunning variety is compact, easy to grow, and comes in several bright colors including variations of pink, purple, and sometimes white. You will also fall in love with its sweet, intoxicating aroma. 

Enjoy the sweet aroma of these beautiful blooms while appreciating their pop of color on your Gardyn or as cut flowers in any arrangement. To bring their beauty and scent to other rooms without harvesting, use the Gardyn Vase! The flowers are also edible and make striking garnishes.

💡Temperature: Prefers cooler temperatures (55-75°F) and will not form blooms if it is too hot.

✂️ Pruning: Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod. Snip any yellow or brown leaves if they appear. Deadhead entire flower heads (not individual petals on the head) once the main head begins to fade by trimming at the flower stalk's base. You'll then see small side-shoot flowers grow.
