Extending the Bloom Season of Stock Flowers: Deadheading and Feeding Tips

Moisture and Mulch for Continuous Blooms

Keep soil evenly moist. Mulch helps conserve water and keeps roots cool.

Fertilizer Schedule for Reblooming Annuals

Apply liquid fertilizer (15-30-15 or 20-20-20) every 4–6 weeks. If slow-release fertilizer was used at planting, additional feeding may not be needed.

Deadheading Routine to Encourage New Flowers

Clip or pinch off faded blooms every 7–14 days. This prevents seed formation and redirects energy to new buds.

Enjoying Fragrance and Butterflies Longer

With consistent care, Stock will bloom continuously through the season.
