How to Grow Stock Mix from Seeds: 

1. Timing:  Start Stock Mix seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area, or sow seeds directly into the garden after all danger of frost has passed.

2. Seed Starting Mix:  Use a well-draining seed starting mix or potting soil for indoor sowing. Fill seed trays or small pots with the mix, lightly pressing it down to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

3. Sowing Seeds:  Plant Stock Mix seeds on the soil surface, lightly pressing them into the soil. Keep the seeds evenly spaced to allow room for growth and good air circulation.

4. Moisture:  Water the soil gently after sowing to settle the seeds. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the germination period, which typically takes 7-14 days.

5. Light:  Stock seeds require light for germination, so place the seed trays in a bright location, preferably near a sunny window or under grow lights. Once the seedlings emerge, continue to provide adequate light.

6. Transplanting:  When the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and all danger of frost has passed, they can be transplanted into the garden. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.

7. Spacing:  Space Stock plants about 8-12 inches apart to allow for their mature size and to promote good air circulation.

8. Care:  Water Stock plants regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist. Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and flowering. Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.

By following these straightforward steps, you can grow fragrant and colorful Stock Mix plants from seeds, bringing beauty and fragrance to your garden or floral arrangements.
