Matthiola longipetala bicornis Night Scented Stock 'Lavender' / Evening Stock

Humble by day, intoxicating by night — Night Scented Stock is genuinely the most fragrant flower you can grow from seed. Small, modest pale-lavender flowers open at dusk and release a powerful sweet vanilla-spice perfume that perfumes an entire garden, terrace, or open kitchen window. The single most fragrant cottage annual any UK gardener can sow.

Day and night, this plant is two completely different propositions. By day, Matthiola longipetala bicornis is genuinely unremarkable: a low, slightly straggly mound (30–45cm) of slim grey-green leaves with small pale-lavender flowers that are partially closed against the heat and sun. By dusk, as temperatures cool and humidity rises, the flowers fully open and release a powerful sweet vanilla-spice fragrance that fills the surrounding air — designed by evolution to attract night-flying moths and pollinators. The perfume is genuinely extraordinary: a few square metres of Night Scented Stock can scent an entire garden or open through a window into a kitchen or bedroom. Hardy annual. Easy to grow, exceptional value for the fragrance investment, and one of the most universally-recommended evening-fragrant plants in the cottage garden canon. Pollinator-friendly — the dusk-released fragrance attracts moths and the open accessible flowers support evening pollinators.

The garden trick: because the plant itself is visually modest, the traditional cottage trick is to interplant Night Scented Stock with a more visually attractive companion that flowers at the same time (Virginian Stock is the classical partner) — the showier plant provides daytime garden appeal while Night Scented Stock provides the evening perfume. Or simply plant it in positions where the daytime appearance doesn't matter — close to seating areas, beneath kitchen windows, along path edges — and let the evening perfume earn its place.

A note on growing

Genuinely one of the easiest hardy annuals to grow. Direct sow outdoors from March to July at intervals for succession flowering. Surface-sow and cover lightly (3mm). Germination 10–14 days. Full sun or partial shade. Average garden soil; not fussy. Succession-sow every 3–4 weeks from March through July for continuous evening fragrance throughout summer. Don't over-fertilise — like most cottage annuals, lean soil produces stronger flowering.

Where it shines

The most fragrant cottage plant for outdoor seating areas, patios, garden benches, kitchen and bedroom windows. In paths and walkways where the evening scent rises as you walk past. In window boxes immediately under windows that open into living spaces. In children's gardens for the magic of "a flower that smells better at night". Combined with Nicotiana 'Sensation Mixed' and Hesperis 'White' (Sweet Rocket) for layered dusk-to-midnight fragrance hierarchy. In small gardens specifically — Night Scented Stock provides disproportionate sensory value for its modest garden footprint.

Plant alongside

For the complete evening-scented cottage scheme, combine Night Scented Stocks with Nicotiana 'Sensation Mixed' (taller, jasmine-scented from dusk) and Hesperis 'White' (violet-and-clove fragrance from dusk) — together they cover dusk-through-midnight fragrance with three different perfume notes. For interplanted visual partnership, pair with Virginia Stock (if stocked) or Alyssum 'Carpet of Snow' (matching low mounded habit, daytime honey scent for visual and olfactory all-day appeal).

The cutest earrings I've seen in a while.
Color: 07.Jul, Color: 07.Jul
We were so happy to get these beautiful and cute silver stud butterfly earrings. The colored CZ let us customize the color to personal preference, which let us pick the perfect option. I really like the silver setting. It is quite well done, and looks far more premium and higher quality than the low price would lead you to believe. One thing I really like about these earrings is the size. These ended up being the perfect size, and made for a very cute look. I honestly think these might become the new daily-wear earrings. They look fantastic. Included are the earrings, a pouch, and two styles of backing. Both backing options were very easy to use, and held the earrings securely. The stud was of good quality, and plated in silver along the whole stud. It is difficult to tell for sure, but this seems like the plating was well done. I think these should hold up well over time. The studs are a little on the long side, but no discomfort was had wearing them. Honestly, I thought it made it easier to put them on. Though, they might not be a good one to wear sleeping or something. It is easy to recommend these super cute earrings. They will be worn frequently, come in a variety of colors, and are well made. I am very happy with them.

These are very pretty. The perfect size for any age ear. Really girly. They don't hurt the ears and they are not too heavy. Nice and light.

These little butterfly Earrings are the perfect touch of personality for your ears. I got these for a friend's birthday and she's worn them every day since. When I picked these up, they were advertised as sterling silver which was a necessity for her ears. She hasnt had any issues and she hasn't had to take them out at all. The clasps are your average butterfly backing. And she did note that the back came off during sleep one night but it could be she is a hard sleeper. Other than that, they are secure. They are larger studs. Not awful large or gaudy. But people have noticed and complimented on them. They add that perfect touch of whimsy without exclaiming give me attention. Perfect to dress up or down and birthstones match anything after all!
