Sowing: Sow in early spring to early summer or sow in autumn.
Matthiola incana can be grown either as an annual or a biennial. Seeds be sown indoors in pots or can be sown directly outdoors where they are to flower
They can be grown as an annual and planted early in spring, for flowering in late summer through autumn.
Grown as a biennial, they can be planted later in the year and overwintered to give flowers the following spring. The extra trouble of overwintering the plants is more than compensated by the showy spring floral display.
If seed is sown in succession, they will provide continuous flowering. Stocks also make magnificent winter flowering pot plants for the cold greenhouse.
