Known for their distinctive clove-like scent and strong stems, Stock combines culinary use with excellent performance as a garden and cut flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe edible flowers have a sweet, aromatic and mildly spicy character with distinctive clove-like notes. Their fragrance is relatively pronounced, so a small quantity of petals or florets can add colour and aroma without overwhelming a dish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEdible Flowers for Garnishes \u0026amp; Desserts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFresh Stock flowers can be used as colourful garnishes for salads, cakes, desserts, fruit plates and other culinary presentations.

Its upright habit also works well behind lower-growing flowers where the tall spikes can provide contrasting height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStock can also be grown in larger containers with reliable drainage. A stable pot is preferable because mature flowering stems can become relatively tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eEasy to Raise from Seed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor the most reliable establishment, Stock is best raised in seedling trays, cells or small pots before transplanting.
