Stock is a great flower for cutting! It likes low temperatures, even so we grow three batches a year – two in spring and one in autumn. You harvest only one flower from one plant, but a really big double-flowered one. Stock smells wonderfully, almost intoxicatingly, and lasts a long time in a vase. The flowers are edible.
The Iron series has robust stems and all the qualities for large production. However, it is more susceptible to temperature fluctuation, and therefore is more difficult to grow, so we recommend it rather for advanced gardeners. Iron Rose Pink is a rich shade of magenta pink.
All stocks have some plants with double flowers and some single. The ratio is different for every series. Iron has 55% double-flowered plants. We therefore recommend growing a bit more. But at our farm we also use the single ones, they are super unique.
