Stock standard

Native to southwestern Greece and the Mediterranean, stock is famous for its strong, sweet scent. Available in various colours, stock comes as a standard head (pictured) or spray variety. Stock is a versatile flower that can be used as a filler or en masse along with a single type of foliage to create a standout feature. When choosing the cut stems, look for heads with the most unopened buds to get the best value. Vase life is typically 5-7 days; change water daily and keep out of direct sun.
