Stock is known for its smell and of course, in a good way. It's a wonderfully fragrant flower. At Skyline, we grow them in all sorts of colors-- white, fuchsia, lavender, blue (it looks more purple to the average person), cream, light pink, dark pink and apple (a very light pink).
Stock is used many times in wedding bouquets and arrangements. People who are getting married love this flower since it comes in a pure white color and is unique. In fact, some say
stock is a symbol of a happy life and represents lasting beauty. The floral meaning brings a bond of affection that tells the person receiving it that they will always be beautiful to the party that gave it to them.
It takes about 15 weeks for us to plant stock and for them to grow to the size needed for the cut flower industry. Typically, the flower grows 28 plus inches.
Stock is also called gillyflower or Virginia stock. As with any other flower, change it's vase water frequently and be sure to remove any foliage below the water line. It is native to Southwestern Greece and the Mediterranean.
