€4.35
Stock Apricot Column from Thompson & Morgan is a delightful variety that will add a soft, peachy hue and a sweet fragrance to your garden. This stunning columnar plant produces elegant clusters of apricot-coloured flowers, offering a warm, inviting tone to flower beds, borders, and containers. Its upright growth habit makes it perfect for creating a tall, vibrant feature in mixed planting schemes. The blooms are not only visually appealing but also release a lovely fragrance, making them a wonderful addition to both your garden and indoor spaces.
Reaching heights of up to 60-75cm, Stock Apricot Column is perfect for edging flower beds or creating a striking focal point. The flowers, with their soft apricot shades, create a pleasing contrast against the plant’s green foliage, providing a fresh and sophisticated look. These plants are also great for cutting, as their long-lasting flowers bring beauty and fragrance to floral arrangements for up to a week.
Sow Stock Apricot Column seeds indoors during the early spring months (February to April). Start by planting the seeds in a seed tray filled with fine seed compost, lightly covering them with compost to ensure proper germination. Place the tray in a warm, bright spot, ideally at 18-21°C, and keep the soil moist. Germination typically occurs within 10-14 days. Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and allow them to harden off before planting them outdoors after the risk of frost has passed.
This variety thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, and will perform best when kept well-watered, particularly during dry spells. Regular deadheading will encourage more blooms and help keep the plant looking fresh throughout the summer months. Stock Apricot Column is a resilient and low-maintenance plant that rewards gardeners with a season of beautiful flowers.
For gardeners who enjoy fragrant, elegant plants, Stock Apricot Column offers an easy-to-grow solution that adds a sophisticated touch to any garden. Whether planted in borders, pots, or cut flower gardens, this variety brings a delightful blend of colour and scent, making it a perfect choice for both beginners and seasoned gardeners.
