Matthiola longipetala (Night-Scented Stock) is a sprawling annual with lance-shaped, gray-green leaves and delicate sprays of small, pale lilac to white flowers. The flowers open in the evening hours and release a most powerful and sweet fragrance. Blooming profusely over a long season extending from spring to fall, they are perfect for sunny borders, and patio containers, and can be harvested for use in cut floral arrangements – thanks to their long vase life (8 days). Ridiculously easy to grow and fast-growing, plant Night-Scented Stock where you can enjoy its beautiful fragrance!
