Matthiola (Stock) – The Enchanting Scent of the Countryside
At KvětinyExpres.cz, Matthiola (commonly known as Stock) is cherished for its intoxicating, spicy fragrance and its ruffled, romantic appearance. It is a key element of the 2026 "Cottagecore" trend, bringing a touch of vintage charm and sensory richness to high-end floral designs.
Why it’s a florist’s favorite:
-
Aromatic Profile: Its scent is often compared to sweet cloves, making it one of the most fragrant cut flowers available.
-
Vertical Architecture: The tall, blossomed spikes provide height and structure, making it perfect for grand arrangements.
-
Symbolism: It stands for lasting beauty, a happy life, and bonds of affection.
Florist Andrea's Tip (Natural Style Expert): "Stock is the ultimate 'feel-good' flower. At the Kulaťák farmers' market, people are literally drawn to it by scent before they even see our stand. It adds a wonderful texture to our mixed bouquets and gives them that coveted 'just-picked' look. Pro tip: To keep your Stocks happy at home, give them a fresh diagonal cut every two days. They are a staple in our summer collection and add a unique soul to every bouquet."
