Stock - Excelsior Yellow Goddess - Matthiola incana - Striking focal point for beds - Fresh Seeds

The Excelsior Yellow Goddess stock (Matthiola incana) is a true queen of summer flower beds that delights with intensely yellow, double flowers emanating a subtle, pleasant scent. Growing to approximately 70 cm in height, it creates slender, elegant stems topped with dense inflorescences. This variety combines classic beauty with ease of cultivation, making it perfect for both home gardens and pots on a terrace. The flowers retain freshness for a long time after cutting, making them ideal for bouquets and bringing a bit of sunshine into home interiors.

Sowing depth

Seeds should be sown at a depth of approximately 0.5 cm and covered with a thin layer of fertile, slightly moist substrate. A site prepared in this way ensures even emergence and strong development of young seedlings. It is worth remembering that the soil should not be too compact, as a loose structure favours good rooting.

Sowing time under cover

Sow stock under covers in March or April. Use pots or mini-greenhouses that provide the seeds with warmth and constant humidity. First seedlings appear after about 2 to 3 weeks, and young plants will soon be ready for pricking out.

Planting time

Transplant seedlings into the ground in May, once the risk of frost has passed. Plants should be well-rooted and hardened off, which helps them tolerate the change in conditions easier and resume growth faster. It is worth choosing a sunny and warm place for them to ensure abundant flowering throughout the summer.

Spacing

Maintain a spacing of 20 x 30 cm during planting. This ensures every plant has enough space to expand and create full, tall inflorescences. Sowing too densely may weaken growth and limit flowering, so it is worth observing these intervals.

Flowering time

The Excelsior Yellow Goddess stock delights with its blooms from June right through to August. Its yellow, fragrant flowers brighten up the garden, introducing an atmosphere of summer freshness and natural elegance. This plant attracts the eye and impresses with colour intensity, looking particularly beautiful when accompanied by white or purple annual species.

Cultivation

Stock grows best in sunny places sheltered from strong winds. It prefers fertile, well-drained, yet slightly moist soil. Regular, moderate watering promotes lush and long-lasting flowering. It is worth removing faded flowers to stimulate the plant to produce new buds. This is a plant that does not require much but rewards the grower with an extremely spectacular effect.
