XL Mylar Packet – Evening Scented Stock SeedsGold Vault Mylar Zip Packet Originally from the countries of Portugal and Spain, this wildflower is one of a favorite garden variety known as “stock,” usually cultivated for their strong, perfumed scent. In medieval England, flowers such as this were known as “gillyflowers.” This particular flower looks wilted during the day, but begins to bloom and produce its fragrance in the evening and through the night. The genus name “Matthiola” honors a 16th century botanist named Pietro Andrea Mattioli, who identified many plants for medicine and science. Sow seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Plant just below the surface of the soil and keep moist until germination, which usually occurs within 10-15 days at 60-65 degrees F. For continuous blooming, plant a new crop every 4 weeks. In mild climates, sow in late fall for early spring blooms. These seeds are non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), and are also free from all Neonicotinoids. They are packaged in our superb Gold Mylar Mylar Zip Packaging, which gives the seeds the best storage possible, and allows you to reseal the bag for later use.
