Growing Non-GMO Harmony Mix Stock Flower Seeds
Harmony Mix Stock can be sown indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost for earliest blooms. Otherwise, start the seeds directly in the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Stock tends to bloom better when exposed to cool (not cold) spring weather. The seedlings require a dark period and should not be left under grow lights for 24 hrs per day. Transplant seedlings that were started indoors to the outdoor garden after the risk of frost has passed. Harden the seedlings off gradually.
Avoid overhead watering as this can cause dampness on the leaves, which encourages diseases and pests to affect your garden more easily. There is little need for fertilizer, but when the seedlings are about one month old, adding a half-strength solution can help them to bulk out. When new growth appears again, a light fertilizer is optional to encourage growth. Stock is at risk of burning from too much fertilizer. Garden plants thrive with mulch around the base to even out temperatures and retain moisture. Deadheading will encourage more flowering into the fall. Plants will die at the first frost and should be removed once they have died to avoid soil-borne diseases.

About Harmony Mix Stock Garden Seeds
Stock flowers prefer cool temperatures generally but will stop flowering when temperatures get above 65°F. In northern climates they can thrive all summer but in southern climates they can be a valuable spring and fall bloomer.
Matthiola incana can also be known as gillyflower, ten-weeks, hoary stock, Brompton stock, or vintage stock. It has been popular since Victorian times in many types of gardens and greenhouse sanctuaries.
Harmony Mix Stock plants have quite a few pest and disease problems, but many, if not all of them can be avoided with proper cultivation practices. Avoid wetting foliage, remove infected plants promptly, practice crop rotations, Introduce or attract natural predators, and utilize insecticidal soap when necessary.
Harmony Mix Stocks are easy to grow from seed and are known to thrive in a wide range of cool and wet gardens.
Try interplanting Stock with wildflowers, geraniums, and hollyhocks for a cottage look. Even though stock can be perennial in warmer climates, it is more like a biennial or a short-lived perennial due to their dislike of hot temperatures.
