@gardengathered: Stock is one of my favorite spring flowers for the garden and bouquet vase. They're cool-season annuals that thrive in the mild temperatures of spring and reward you with tall, fragrant blooms. How tl grow: ✨ Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost. Press the seeds onto moist soil. Germination takes about 7 days. ✨ Plant out 4-6" apart while temperatures are still cool ✨ Give them full sun and well-draining soil ✨ Harvest when about ⅓–½ of the florets are open for the longest vase life. Bonus: they smell absolutely heavenly and add the prettiest pastel colors to spring bouquets 💐 #stockflowers #gardening #cutflowers
