didn't know there WAS a night-scented phlox. hmmm i will have to check into that and consider adding it to my want list.

Yes indeedy...I saw it and HAD to try it, mainly because Night Stock seems too tempermental to me (indoor sowing & transplanting). Have you had any luck with it?

Let me count how many seeds are in my pack and maybe I can send you a few.

Zaluzianskaya sounds like a Russian name. I was married to a Russian guy once and they are a tempermental lot. Guess that explains the temperment of the plant too. LOL

Triple,

If you'd like some, please email me your address (via GW) and I'll send you a few seeds. They are sooooooo teeny tiny. I can send you about 25+ if ya want em. The packet will look empty to the naked eye...I don't think I've ever seen such a small seed - smaller than Verbascum. Harvesting them will be a joy I imagine...hehe

Have a good weekend =)

WWW,

Have you grown them before or is this your first year with them also?

1st for me too. Can't wait to smell them. I can't believe how small those little boogers are. Stock doesn't like to be transplanted so I'm going to experiment sowing these inside and out as well as Stock again. I'm curious how they differ. My 10-week Stock didn't do a thing last year and it overwintered and is now betting ready to bloom. =D

Germination is not very good with seed of this plant, so it's best to sow heavily.

The fragrance is very nice. The plants are very low-growing and flowers are small, so to best appreciate it try growing it in a large pot or tub, or at the front of the border.

I grew these last year after looking everywhere for the seeds. I finally got them through Thompson and Morgan. I was so excited to get them going,but boy I sure was disappointed.The blooms were really small and I did not like the fragrance which remimded me a lot of Vanilla,not quite what I was looking for.I am growing night scented stocks again instead,I love the fragrance they emit.

Did them, not worth doing them again. The aroma was not unpleasant, but they aren't as aromatic as they are advertised. Flowers are unusual, but not all that dramatic. For aroma, there are better choices, including plain old four o'clocks.

I bought one plant in a 4" pot but it died as soon as I transplanted it into a large pot with a morning glory in it. I wanted it to be groundcover for the morning glory -- what did I do wrong?

I prefer night scented stock, at least I have had general success with it. When we came up the stairs to the sundeck we could smell the night scented stock from around the corner of the house. definitely my fave for night scent, although nicotiana only the lonely can smell pretty fantastic too. If you want night scent, there is better and less touchy out there.
