Column Stocks (Matthiola incana) - Giant Column Mix
Plant in seedling trays (see our plastic seedling trays), from mid-summer to autumn. Make sure soil in trays is soft and friable by adding sand or similar. Protect seedlings from very harsh sun and heat. Prefers a moist, well drained soil. Plant out in full sun or part shade. Allow 30cm between each plant. Don't overwater or the plants roots will rot. Liquid manure will keep the plants moving and increase size of flower. Will grow to approx. 60m.
Easy to grow, Column Stock has long been popular for bedding and for providing cut flowers, but most of all for its wonderful clove-like scent. Giant Column Mix has spires of elegant, tightly packed showy aromatic flowers and the scent which endeared it to generations of gardeners is especially strong in the evening. Prefers a cool location in full sun. Blooms in wonderful shades of blue, pink and white. Excellent both for bedding and cutting, this is a superb strain with a mixture of double and single flowers.
