Notes
'Antique Pink' stock (Matthiola incana 'Antique Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant pink and green blooms open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer, and bees, butterflies, and birds visit them. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The stem quality is excellent.
Pairs well with Aster, Feverfew, and Japanese forest grass.
