Stocks (Matthiola)

Stocks, (real name Matthiola), is a sweetly scented flowering plant and were named after Pietro Andrea Matthioli - a doctor and naturalist born in Siena.

Stocks are famous for their strong, sweet scent and as a result are extemely popular with florists for use in flower bouquets, floral arrangements and wedding flowers.

In the wholesale flower markets stocks are sold in wraps of 10 stems. Stem lengths are usually no longer than 60cm these days.
