Stock is a dense spike of blooms with a sweet, clove-like scent, one of the strongest among cut flowers. It is safe for pets.
Children: We found no poison-centre information on it, so keep it out of small children’s reach to be safe.

How to care for it
- Change the water often; stock stems foul it quickly.
- Strip all leaves below the waterline and re-cut with a sharp blade.
- Keep cool and remove faded lower florets.
Did you know? In 16th-century Saxony, each village could grow only one colour of stock to keep colours pure.
