Notes
'Katz Apricot' stock (Matthiola incana 'Katz Apricot') 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. Deer tend to pass it by. The fragrant peach flowers open in spring and again in summer, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit them.
Pairs well with Black Baccara rose, Coral Charm peony, and Johnny jump up.
