Stock requires cool temperatures to germinate and grow, and we find they are best seeded in trays or pots about 6 weeks before your last frost in the spring. The seeds require light for germination so when we start them in trays we sow them on the surface of our potting material and then cover them very lightly with sand or vermiculite. They are quick to germinate but slow to grow.

Here in zone 7 we generally we start them in early February indoors and put them out in in our garden in late March as they like cool weather to set their roots, but we are prepared to cover them when we have a frost threat. They prefer very rich soil and flourish with moist soil conditions. This is a fast growing variety and unlike hybrid stock (like Katz or Iron that are much taller) they will grow and finish blooming before the late spring or summer heat arrives.
