Description
The Annual Stock or Matthiola incana 'Anytime White' is part of the Anytime series known for its extended flowering season and very-double flowers. This robust annual, also known as gillyflower, produces spikes of bright pure white. Carried by well-branched stems, its fragrant and luminous flowers bloom from late spring to late summer. Easy to sow, it brightens borders and containers and is perfect for fresh and elegant bouquets.
The annual stock, known by its Latin name Matthiola incana which also has the botanical synonym Cheiranthus incanus, is a short-lived perennial herbaceous plant, or a biennial, often grown as an annual. It belongs to the brassicaceae family (like cabbages or mustard) and originates from the Mediterranean basin, in the Canary Islands, where it grows on rocks near the coast. It is also called Garden Stock or Gillyflower. The 'Anytime White' selection produces upright plants with a bushy and branched habit, reaching around 75 cm in height and 30 cm in width. They bear narrow lanceolate grey-green leaves and display, from April-May to August-September, fragrant flowers arranged in spikes, 2 to 3 cm in diameter. They produce fully double flowers. This flowering is very abundant and fragrant, honey-producing and nectar-rich. When grown in pots, these plants are not branched and produce a single, particularly developed flower spike.
The 'Anytime White' annual stock is ideal for borders, edges, rockeries, or containers. Planted near pathways, it perfumes the air with its sweet scent. It thrives in well-drained soil and enjoys a sunny exposure. In borders, it pairs perfectly with summer annuals like mallows, love-in-a-mist, columbines, bellflowers, perennial geraniums, or poppies. It also fits well in romantic bouquets, harmonising with peonies and lilacs.

Planting and care
Sow the Anytime White stocks from February to April. Sow the seeds on the surface of moist compost, in pots or trays, and lightly cover with a thin layer of vermiculite. Place in a propagator or enclose the containers in a clear plastic bag, kept in a warm place, at a temperature between 20-25°C. Keep the sowing close to a source of light, as this promotes germination. Keep the compost surface moist, but not waterlogged; germination usually takes 10 to 21 days.
When the young plants are sufficiently developed, transplant them into 7.5 cm pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions for a few days before placing them outside, after all risk of frost, spacing them 30 cm apart. Choose a sunny spot and well-drained soil, or pots filled with a rich, well-draining mix.
In dry soil and sunny exposure, remember to water your plants often in summer so that the soil never completely dries out between waterings.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
