How to plant stocks

Sow Stock seeds indoors using small pots or starter trays 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost. Press the Stock flower seeds into the soil and cover no more than 1/8 inch with soil. Matthiola Incana flower seeds need light and continuous moisture to germinate. Transplant Stock seedlings into the garden 14 inches apart. Stock Flower Care: Fertilize Matthiola Stock plants monthly with a general purpose liquid fertilizer. Trim the Stock flower spikes when they are down blooming. Deadheading is to neaten the appearance of the plant. Re-seeding is not a problem.

Care

Sow ¼ inch deep in seed-starting formula. Keep the soil moist at 60-65 degrees F. Seedlings emerge in 10-20 days. Firm lightly and keep evenly moist.
