description_en: Genus of 55 species of bushy, erect annuals and perennials, occasionally subshrubs, from scrub and hilly areas in W. Europe, South Africa, and C. and S.W. Asia. The leaves are simple, usually lance-shaped, sometimes pinnatifid or shallowly lobed, and grey-green to mid-green. Matthiola species and cultivars are grown for their usually sweetly scented, pastel pink, purple, or white flowers. The flowers are cross-shaped (double in some cultivar selections), and borne in terminal, spike-like racemes or panicles. Grow in a mixed or annual border. Cultivars of M. incana are useful spring and summer bedding plants, and provide attractive cut flowers. They are often divided by horticulturists into the following 4 groups. Brompton stocks, grown as biennials, bear tall panicles of single or double flowers. East Lothian stocks may be grown as biennials or spring-sown annuals; more compact and smaller-flowered than Brompton Group stocks, they produce spike-like racemes of single or double flowers. Ten Week stocks are grown as annuals, and may be dwarf or tall: dwarf cultivars, suitable for bedding or containers, bear single or double flowers, usually in panicles; tall cultivars bear mostly double flowers in dense, usually unbranched, spike-like racemes. Column stocks are generally grown under glass for cut flowers, and produce long, dense, upright, spike-like racemes of mainly double flowers.
hardiness_en: Fully hardy to frost hardy.

propagation_en: Sow seed of M. longipetala subsp. bicornis in situ in spring, and repeat for a succession of flowers. For bedding, sow seed of M. incana Cinderella Series, Midget Series, and Ten Week Mixed at 10-18°C (50-64°F) in early spring. Sow seed of M. incana Legacy Series, Sentinel Series, and Excelsior Mammoth Column Series in a seedbed or in containers in a cold frame in midsummer; overwinter under cloches in cold climates and plant out in spring. Seedlings are prone to "damping off". Sow seed of perennials in containers in a cold frame in spring or summer; overwinter in a cold frame and plant out in the following spring.
pests_en: Susceptible to aphids, flea beetles, cabbage root flies, clubroot, downy mildew, grey mould (Botrytis), seed-borne infections of bacterial leaf spot, root and stem rots, and cucumber mosaic virus.
