Stock prefers cooler temperatures; in warmer regions sow or plant before it gets too hot. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained, friable soil. When seedlings are established, a sprinkle of all-purpose fertiliser once a month will encourage more flowers.

Prune the plant back to its basal foliage when temperatures rise and the plant is no longer sending up shoots after deadheading.
