Originating in the wild in England, Stock is a favorite among Florists, prized for its dense clusters of fragrant blossoms.

A multifaceted flower, also called gillyflower, tenweeks, or hoary, today’s colorful varieties of Stock are cultivars of the original M. incana wildflower. Stock is known for its elongated racemes, or clusters, of single or double fragrant blossoms that rise on sturdy stems from lush grayish-green foliage.

Fragrant and romantic, Stock’s flower meaning refers to bonds of affection and promptness: “You’ll always be beautiful to me.”
