Stock - Apple Blossom

Stock Apple Blossom -

Soft, romantic and beautifully fragrant, Appleblossom Stock produces elegant flower spikes in dreamy shades of blush pink and creamy white – just like spring apple blossom.

The densely packed blooms have that unmistakable sweet, spicy Stock fragrance and make an absolutely gorgeous addition to garden beds, cottage gardens and the cutting patch. With strong upright stems and excellent vase life, Appleblossom is also a favourite for bouquets and home-grown flower arrangements.

Stock loves the cooler months and rewards you with some of its best stem length and flower quality when grown in cool conditions. Plants generally reach around 60–75cm tall.

Why we love it

There’s something wonderfully old-fashioned about Stock. Appleblossom combines that incredible fragrance with one of the prettiest colour palettes around – soft, delicate and ridiculously easy to mix with other spring flowers.

Please note: Stock grown from seed can naturally produce both single and double-flowered plants.
