Notes
'Katz Cherry Blossom' stock (Matthiola incana 'Katz Cherry Blossom') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. The pink flowers are fragrant and open in spring and again in summer. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. Cut a few stems to enjoy the scent indoors.
Pairs well with Bartzella peony, Japanese forest grass, and Lily.
