Stocks Night Scented (Matthiola Bicornis)

Description

Start the seeds indoors between March-April.

Fill small pots or trays with moist, freedraining seed compost.

Press the seeds lightly onto the surface. Dont exclude light as it aids germination.

Keep at around 17-19c in a bright spot.

Germination usually takes 10-14 days.

When large enough to handle, transplant into individual pots.

Gradually acclimatise the plants to outdoor conditions.

Plant out after the last frost in a sunny, welldrained place with about 30cm between plants.

Remove spent flowers to encourage more blooms.
