- Try to buy the flowers when the top flowers are in bud and the lowest flowers are open.
- Remove most of the leaves - the leaves are lush and fleshy and will take the water needed for the flowers.
- Cut away any white parts at the bottom of the stems - or the flower will not be able to take up water.
- Stock flowers do best in shallow water - so just fill the vase with a little bit of water. Just remember to change water when you need to.
- The individual little flowers are easily broken off - so handle with care!
- They last in a vase for about 5-7 days.
- Stock is a wonderful sweetly fragrant flower that comes in beautiful colours.
- Buy some and enjoy!
Have a Great Floral Day!
I'll see you later in the week with more DIY flowers from
'Of Spring and Summer'.

Ingrid, there is so much good advice in this post for all of us who'd like to give Stock a try, but don't yet know how to emphasize its potential.
I particularly liked your reason for eliminating leaves so that the flowers can thrive.
