Iron Pink Stock delivers the full bouquet experience: intensely fragrant flowers in a sophisticated deep pink shade, combined with the reliability that commercial florists demand. The compact growth habit keeps plants tidy in the garden while producing exceptional stems for cutting, and the frost tolerance means you can plant in spring and fall for extended harvests without worrying about unexpected cold snaps.
Iron Pink Stock shines as a fragrant cut flower.

Sow seeds 1/4 inch deep into 128-cell plug flats 5 to 6 weeks before transplanting outdoors. Maintain a soil temperature of 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit for consistent germination.
Transplant seedlings into the field or protected structure after the danger of frost has passed. Do not pinch plants, as this variety develops best with an undisturbed central stem.
Direct sow after the danger of frost passes. Succession-plant every 2 weeks for multiple harvests of blooms throughout the season.
