Stock Incana Iron Rose

Stock Incana Iron Rose Seeds

Matthiola incana Iron Rose is part of the Iron series by Sakata Ornamentals. The Rose color within the series sits at the heart of the pink family — a genuine, warm rose tone distinct from the lighter Rose Pink and the more saturated Deep Pink. This classic rose hue carries a timeless elegance that makes it one of the most universally sought-after colors in professional floriculture, performing beautifully as both a standalone color in mono arrangements and as a harmonious partner in mixed multi-color designs.
Stems are tall and rigid with very tightly spaced florets, sharing all the structural superiority of the Iron series over traditional European stocks. Approximately 55% of plants produce double flowers without seedling selection. Flower initiation requires nighttime temperatures below 15–18°C for 10–21 days.
