Sweet Scented Ten Week Stocks Seed

An old-fashioned favourite in a grand mix of colours. These have been a popular garden plant and cut flower since the 17th century so popular due to their stunning flowers and gorgeous scent. They also make a lovely subject for winter flowering in the cold greenhouse.

Recommended by the RHS to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

• Tender annual.
• Excellent for cut flowers.
• Flowers June - September.
• Grows to approximately 15" (38 cm) tall.
• Sow February - April in seed trays and just cover. 
• Germinate and grow on under protection. Reducing growing on temperature after germination will encourage seedling colour differentiation as only the paler yellow / green seedlings will go on to produce double flowers (the dark green will produce single flowers so disregard).
• When large enough to handle prick out (transplant) into individual pots or module trays.
• When rooted through and more mature harden off and plant out after the risk of any further frosts, planting 12" by 15" (30 cm by 38 cm) apart.
