One pack of full sun biennial flower seeds for planting. Hoary Stock, or Matthiola incana, is a classic choice for adding color and fragrance to any garden. Its showy blooms and attractive foliage make it a favorite among gardeners and pollinators alike.

  • Gorgeous Blooms - Hoary Stock, also known as gillyflower or wallflower, is a vintage favorite with tall, sturdy stems and clusters of fragrant blooms. This flower is beloved for its vibrant display in hues of pink, purple, and white. It's an easy grower and creates a lovely harmony in flower beds or as a backdrop in borders.
  • Lovely Flowers - Hoary Stock's fragrant flowers make it a popular cottage garden favorite. A member of the cabbage family, its flowers are edible with a sweet flavor that can be used as a garnish. This cold-tolerant flower is popular for cutting gardens, edges, and containers. They also serve as an excellent nectar source for butterfly and other pollinator species.
