Malmaison Pink Stock is a classic heirloom annual admired for its fully double, richly fragrant blossoms in soft rose-pink shades. The densely packed flower spikes produce an abundance of ruffled blooms with a sweet clove-like fragrance that perfumes the garden and fills bouquets with delightful scent. Blooming during the cool seasons of spring and early summer, Malmaison Pink has long been treasured by gardeners and florists alike for its elegance, exceptional fragrance, and outstanding cut flower quality.
Garden Uses:
An outstanding choice for cutting gardens, cottage gardens, spring borders, containers, fragrant gardens, and formal flower beds. Malmaison Pink pairs beautifully with sweet peas, larkspur, snapdragons, Iceland poppies, violas, dianthus, and bachelor's buttons. Its upright flower spikes also make a wonderful centerpiece in mixed container plantings.
Growing Information:
Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last expected frost or sow directly outdoors in cool spring weather. Cover seeds lightly and maintain even moisture during germination. Plants thrive in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Stock performs best during cool weather and benefits from regular watering without allowing the soil to remain soggy. Mature plants generally grow 18–30 inches tall with sturdy flower spikes.
