Stock - Miracle Yellow
Seeds
MATTHIOLA INCANA
Soft buttercreamy yellow stock, one of my absolute favourite colours! We tried all the yellow stocks, and Miracle Yellow was our favourite with the barely noticeable lighter, softer shade of cream than Katz Yellow. Virtually identical colour to Cheerful Yellow, but the Miracle Yellow stems are significantly stronger, and actually want to stay upright!
A 50/50 mix between doubles and singles.
Being apart of the brassica family, it's best to try and time sowing after your white butterfly numbers subside in autumn but with enough time to make it to flowering before their population explodes back in spring - or be prepared to net them and/or treat with weekly/fortnightly sprays of BT (Bacillus thuringiensis - organic bacteria) to keep the munching caterpillars under control.
