Sowing Instructions

 

Sow seeds directly outdoors from March to May in their final position. Scatter seeds thinly in well-prepared soil, covering them lightly with a fine layer of compost or soil. Space seedlings 15-20 cm apart once they are large enough to handle.

 

Alternatively, sow seeds indoors in seed trays or pots from late winter. Keep trays at 15-20°C until germinated, then grow on in cooler conditions. Transplant into the garden after the last frost.

 

For best results, plant in groups to maximise the impact of their fragrance. Use near seating areas or along pathways to fully enjoy their sweet evening aroma.

 

Stock Night-Scented is a low-maintenance, highly rewarding addition to any garden, bringing evening enchantment with its delicate blooms and heavenly scent.
