Stock – Stox Silver is a sophisticated, florist-quality flower prized for its soft silver-green foliage and beautifully scented blooms. This variety brings a refined, modern look to the garden and cutting patch, with upright stems topped by dense clusters of creamy white flowers that carry that classic, clove-like stock fragrance.
