Stock are generally known as annual plants, but this one is a perennial that will actually stick around for two or three years! The clove scent is heavenly and even just a few cut stems in a jar can fill an entire room.

'Pillow Talk' has attractive, silver-green foliage and white flowers that darken to a pale pink with age. Easy to grow in full sun and well-drained soil. A perfect candidate for patio containers, where you can sit and enjoy the scent.
