Evening Scented Stock Flower Seeds Fragrant Matthiola Longipetala Evening Scented Stock is a clove-like fragrant annual that has flowers that open at night. Although native to the Mediterranean region, this plant grows best in full to partial sun, with moderate moisture, and in well-drained rich soils. Flowers are pink or purple. Sowing: Sow seeds as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Plant just below the surface of the soil and keep moist until germination, which usually occurs within 10-15 days at 60-65 degrees F. For continuous blooming, plant a new crop every 4 weeks. In mild climates, sow in late fall for early spring blooms. Growing: Water seedlings occasionally until they become established. Though mature plants prefer fairly dry soil, water them occasionally to prevent the soil from entirely drying out. Remove wilted blossoms for new growth. Though the blossoms remain closed during the day, they open at the end of the day and produce a lovely fragrance all night long. These flowers actually produce a stronger scent when grown without much fertilization or watering.
