Stock 'Apricot & Cherry Blossom Mix'

Matthiola incana

My all-time favorite for design due to it's versatility, fragrance, and soft colors. Clusters of frilly flowers add a romantic touch, while sturdy stems make it perfect for both bridal and market bouquets. The flower clusters also serve as an ideal supporting pillow in arrangements. Bonus: they hold up well out of water, and the florets work beautifully with floral glue for wearables.

This mix includes my favorite colors from the Katz series: Apricot and Cherry Blossom. Katz are 55–60% double-flowering without selection. NOTE: Do NOT pinch. This variety produces one flowering stem per plant.

Flowers are also edible and are great for garnishes and cake decorating (wedding cakes).

Packet contains approximately 50 seeds.
