Description
An old-time favourite, Night-scented, sometimes called ‘Evening-scented’ Stock is one of the easiest and rewarding scented plants to grow. The scent has been compared to vanilla, rose, spice and even cloves however one thing is certain, once you experience it in your own garden it will become a summer fragrance you will never want to be without. Night Scented Stock are much more fragrant in positions where they aren’t overwhelmed with fertiliser and tending. They also prefer a dryer than average position. Sow in pots or directly where they are to flower. Position plants around seating areas and along paths in the garden so their scent can be enjoyed in the evenings. A sunny situation should be chosen, which should be prepared as soon as possible, making sure that drainage is good. For a continuous show, you may wish to plant stagger the sowing dates. Flowers should be removed as soon as they have faded to promote the growth of further blooms. Never over water, but do not let the soil dry out.
