Description
Stock 'Anytime Lavender' or Matthiola incana is part of the Anytime series known for its extended flowering season and very double flowers. This robust annual plant produces spikes of deep, light purple or intense lavender flowers. On well-branched plants, they bloom bright and fragrant from late spring to late summer. They are easy to sow in borders or containers and make beautiful bouquets.
The stock, with its Latin name Matthiola incana also known botanically as Cheiranthus incanus, is a short-lived perennial herbaceous plant, or a biennial, often grown as an annual. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family (like cabbages or mustard) and originates from the Mediterranean basin, the Canary Islands, where it grows on rocks near the coast. It is also called Gillyflower. The 'Anytime Lavender' selection produces upright, bushy and branched plants reaching about 75 cm in height with a width of 30 cm. They bear narrow lanceolate grey-green leaves and display fragrant flowers arranged in spikes, 2 to 3 cm in diameter from April to May and August to September. They produce fully double flowers. This flowering is very abundant, fragrant, honey-producing, and nectar-rich. When grown in pots, these plants are not branched and produce a single, particularly developed flower spike.
The 'Anytime Lavender' stock is ideal for borders, rockeries, or containers. Planted near pathways, it perfumes the air with its sweet fragrance. It thrives in well-drained soil and enjoys a sunny exposure. In borders, it pairs perfectly with summer annuals like tree mallows, love-in-a-mist, columbines, bellflowers, perennial geraniums, or poppy plants. It also fits well in romantic bouquets, harmonising with peonies and lilacs.

Planting and care
Sow Anytime Lavender stock seeds from February to April. Sow the seeds on the surface of moist compost, in pots or trays, and lightly cover the seeds with a thin layer of vermiculite. Place in a Propagator or enclose the containers in a clear plastic bag kept in a warm place at a temperature of 20-25 °C. Keep the sowing near a source of light, as this promotes germination. Keep the compost surface moist, but not waterlogged; germination usually takes 10 to 21 days.
When the young plants are sufficiently developed, transplant them into 7.5 cm pots or trays. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions for a few days before planting them out, after all risk of frost, spacing them 30 cm apart. Choose a sunny location and well-drained soil, or pots filled with a rich, well-drained mix.
In dry soil and sunny exposure, remember to water your plants often in summer so that the soil never completely dries out between waterings.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
