Sowing Indoors
Almost fill a seed tray with moist seed compost. Sow seeds thinly over the surface, and lightly cover them with a little more compost. Place in warmth 10-15C (50-60F), and keep moist.
Growing on / thinning
Keep seedlings in a light position, but shade from bright sun. When large enough to handle, transplant 5cm (2in) apart into trays of potting compost.
Hardening off / planting
Gradually accustom plants to outside conditions for 2-3 weeks before planting out during autumn. Young plants will then become established before the onset of winter. Allow 15cm (6in) between plants.
Special note
Seed can also be sown outdoors in short, shallow, pre-watered rows. Lightly cover with a little soil, and keep soil moist until seedlings emerge.
Thin them out to 15cm (6in) apart when large enough to handle to allow young plants to develop.
product reviews
I always grow stocks as biennials. I will be sowing them soon to flower next year, so I always nip off any flower buds, as this makes them much more floriferous, and able to stand any bad weather better next spring. Bromptons always look a bit leggy and half dead until they flower in my experience, but they usually make up for it when they flower.
I grew brompton stocks from seed for 1st time. Plants grew well but became straggly when planted out....some in pots, some in open ground. Flower heads disappointing. Should I cut flower heads off and will they flower again next year. Some have not flowered at all. Should I cut these before they flower? Will this give me better flowers next year??
