Flowering Stock
A rich fragrance featuring spicy clove tones makes flowering stock a go-to annual for spring planting. Stock is a much beloved old-fashioned flower, but modern varieties offer things like better heat tolerance and a vivid range of jewel-tone blooms, including deep violet, rose-pink, fuchsia and white. Plant flowering stock in containers or planting beds near an entrance so you can savor the scent all spring long.
