Overview
Sturdy, upright stems are comparable in quality to the Iron series. The StoX series was bred for easier selection of double-flowering plants. Double-flowering plants will display a lighter leaf color at the seedling stage after exposure to cool temperatures. Without selection your plants will produce approximately 55% double-flowering plants and 45% single-flowering plants. You might notice that some seedlings will present the lighter color leaves, even without a cold treatment. Single-stem/column-type stock for one-cut harvest. NOTE: This variety produces one flowering stem per plant. Pinching is not advisable as it will terminate flowering. Blooms are a brilliant deep rose color. Edible Flowers: The peppery, clove-like flavor of the flowers lends itself well to use as a garnish on salads, desserts, and drinks.
