Notes
'Iron Yellow' stock (Matthiola incana 'Iron Yellow') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It bears fragrant yellow blooms in spring and again in summer. Butterflies and bees visit the flowers. Deer tend to pass it by.
Pairs well with Aster, Fountain grass, and Ox-eye daisy.
