Sowing depth

Seeds should be sown at a depth of approximately 0.5 cm. Maintaining this depth allows the seeds to germinate evenly and create strong, healthy seedlings.

Sowing time under cover

The best time to sow seeds under covers is March or April. Early sowing makes it possible to obtain seedlings ready for planting out as soon as the risk of frost has passed. A warm, bright place and light, fertile soil are sufficient for the plants to develop beautifully.

Planting time

Stock is planted into flower beds in May, once the seedlings are well rooted and resistant to cool nights. After transplanting, they take root quickly, creating strong stems and dense inflorescences.

Spacing

The recommended spacing is 20 x 30 cm. This ensures the plants have enough space to develop fully and produce large, impressive inflorescences without competing for light and nutrients.

Flowering time

The Excelsior Pacific crimson stock blooms from June right through to August. Throughout the summer, it adorns the garden with intense, cherry-red flowers and spreads a wonderful, classic scent that brings to mind fragrant, rustic gardens.

Cultivation

Stock grows best in sunny, warm places sheltered from the wind. It likes fertile, slightly moist, but well-drained soil. Seeds should be sown in boxes or pots in early spring, covered lightly with earth. After emergence, young plants require gentle watering and gradual hardening off before planting into the ground. Stock tolerates short-term temperature drops well, making it well-suited to variable climates. It is an ideal choice for lovers of fresh, fragrant bouquets.
