Notes
'Iron White' stock (Matthiola incana 'Iron White') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, and containers. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. White, fragrant flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit the blooms. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
Pairs well with Sweet William, California poppy, and Fountain grass.
