Stock ‘Milla Salmon’ is a stunning variety known for its soft salmon-pink blooms and deliciously sweet fragrance. A favourite among gardeners and cut flower growers, this variety brings both colour and scent to garden beds, borders, and bouquets.
The ‘Milla’ series is prized for producing strong, upright stems with well-formed, densely packed flower spikes. ‘Milla Salmon’ is particularly valued for its soft, pastel tones that pair beautifully with other seasonal flowers. The Milla series typically produces a balanced mix of approximately 50% double flowers and 50% singles.
Stem length: Typically reaches 50–60 cm.
Vase life: Stock ‘Milla’ typically has a vase life of 5 to 7 days, and sometimes up to 10 days with proper post-harvest care. Stock holds well in the vase, especially when picked as the lower florets just begin to open.
Fragrance: Wonderfully fragrant, adding both beauty and scent to floral arrangements.
Productivity: Each plant produces a single, sturdy flowering stem. Successive plantings can provide a continuous harvest.
