Written by Petal Perfection Flower Company
When people think about beautiful cut flowers, roses, lilies, hydrangeas, and sunflowers often steal the spotlight. However, one of the floral industry's most treasured flowers is the incredibly fragrant and elegant Stock Flower (Matthiola incana).
At Petal Perfection Flower Company, we absolutely love incorporating premium cut stock flowers into our handcrafted floral arrangements. Their soft, romantic appearance, incredible fragrance, long vase life, and versatility make them one of our favorite flowers for birthdays, anniversaries, sympathy arrangements, weddings, everyday bouquets, and luxury floral designs.

Our experienced designers carefully select only the freshest premium-quality flowers for every arrangement, ensuring every bouquet exceeds expectations.

Stock Flower Care Tips
Like all premium cut flowers, stock flowers will last even longer when cared for properly.
Trim the Stems
Cut approximately one inch off the stems at a 45-degree angle before placing them into fresh water.
Change Water Every Two Days
Fresh water is one of the easiest ways to extend the life of your flowers.
Keep Away From Heat
Avoid placing arrangements near:
Sunny windows
Air conditioning vents
Heating vents
Fireplaces
Kitchen appliances
Heat dramatically shortens flower life.
Remove Foliage Below Water
Leaves sitting in the water encourage bacteria growth.
Use Flower Food
Flower food provides nutrients while helping reduce bacteria that shorten vase life.
Avoid Fresh Fruit
Ripening fruit releases ethylene gas, which causes flowers to age much faster.
Following these simple tips will help your stock flowers remain beautiful and fragrant for many days.
Decorating Your Home with Stock Flowers
Fresh flowers instantly transform a home into a warm, welcoming space.
Stock flowers are especially beautiful in:
Kitchen islands
Dining room tables
Entryways
Living room coffee tables
Home offices
Guest bedrooms
Bathroom vanities
Reading nooks
Breakfast tables
Many homeowners enjoy placing a small vase of stock flowers beside the bed because their gentle fragrance creates a relaxing atmosphere at the beginning and end of each day.
They also pair beautifully with seasonal décor throughout the year, making them an excellent addition to any home.
