Notes

'Katz Yellow' stock (Matthiola incana 'Katz Yellow') 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 yellow flowers open in spring and again in summer. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Johnny jump up, Ornamental onion, and Knock Out rose.
