Column Appleblosson Stock Seeds

Column Appleblossom Stock is an elegant florist-quality annual producing tall, uniform spikes of densely double blossoms in delicate shades of blush pink, soft rose, and creamy white. The gentle color blend resembles the fresh blossoms of spring apple trees, while the richly scented flowers fill the garden with the classic spicy-clove fragrance that has made stocks favorites for generations. Part of the premium Column series, this variety is prized for its strong stems, uniform flowering, and exceptional performance as both a garden plant and cut flower.

Garden Uses:
Outstanding for cutting gardens, cottage gardens, wedding gardens, mixed borders, fragrance gardens, and commercial flower production. Column Appleblossom combines beautifully with white larkspur, blue delphiniums, lavender stocks, sweet peas, foxgloves, snapdragons, and pastel Iceland poppies. Its soft coloring makes it especially popular in romantic garden designs and spring floral arrangements.

Growing Information:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the final spring frost or sow outdoors during cool weather. Cover seeds lightly with fine soil and maintain consistent moisture during germination. Grow in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil enriched with compost or other organic matter. Stocks perform best in cool temperatures and appreciate regular watering while avoiding saturated soil. Plants generally reach 24–36 inches tall with sturdy, florist-grade stems that remain upright throughout the flowering season.
