Does Night Scented Stock Self Seed?

Care for Scented Stock Plants
Scented stock self-sows readily, so if you don't want more plants next season you can rip them out when the weather warms and they start to look rangy. You can fertilize them after a month, but the flowering season is usually too short to warrant fertilizer unless your soil is very poor.

Does night-scented stock come back every year?

Night-scented stock (Matthiola longipetala) is an easy-to-grow annual.

How long does night-scented stock flower?

You should start to see the blooms open at night about 6 to 8 weeks after the day you planted them. If you live in an area with hot spring temperatures, you may need to check the soil every day.
