Notes
'Iron Rose Pink' stock (Matthiola incana 'Iron Rose Pink') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. 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 rose flowers open in spring and again in summer, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer. The plant also tolerates salt.
Pairs well with Sweet William, California poppy, and Ornamental onion.
