Description Brompton Stock (Matthiola Incana mix) 100 seeds (#993)

It is mostly grown as a cool weather annual. It is noted for its colorful, clove-scented flowers. A highly fragrant form of stock was identified in the 1700s at the Brompton Park Nursery in London, giving rise to the common name of brompton stock which is still used today, often in general terms, for stock plants. Over the years, a huge number of stock varieties have been developed, mostly hybrids involving M. incana, M. sinuata and M. odorata.
Strict species plants are basically no longer available. In general, plants grow to 50 cm tall on upright stems clad with oblong, hairy, gray-green leaves (to 10cm long).
Extremely fragrant flowers bloom in dense clusters (terminal racemes) in a large variety of colors including shades of pink, lavender, purple, white, yellow and red from May to July. Bloom time is abbreviated considerably in hot summer climates.
Approximately 100 seeds in 0.5g packet.
