You recognise stock with your eyes closed: a warm, faintly spiced scent of honey and clove fills the room before you notice the bouquet itself. The flower is soft and double, gathered into dense spikes, rather like an old country garden, only finer and more costly. This section holds single-flower bouquets of stock across the whole palette: white, pink, lilac, raspberry, peach, yellow, two-toned, and the full spray variety as well, from intimate bouquets to generous armfuls. Stock is seasonal, and in its own season it is at its most fragrant and its fullest; the manager will tell you what is fresh now.
Who is given a bouquet of stock
Stock is chosen when the scent matters as much as the look, and the scent is the gift:
- white and peach – soft and warm, for any occasion;
- lilac – elegant and a little retro, for a fine eye;
- raspberry and pink – brighter and more festive;
- spray stock – more volume for less money, for a large armful.
If you are unsure about the colour or the size, write to the manager. We will help you choose and send a photograph of the bouquet before delivery.
Stock in bouquets and compositions
The scent of stock sits well with other seasonal flowers. Look at the neighbouring single-flower bouquets: sweet pea, the same gentle fragrant classic, bouquets of snapdragon with their tall spikes, and watercolour lisianthus. The whole choice is in the single-flower bouquets section.
To keep stock longer
- trim the stems at an angle and place them in cool clean water;
- change the water every day or two, refreshing the cut;
- keep the bouquet away from direct sun, draughts and radiators;
- do not stand it next to ripe fruit.
Every order comes with a care note.
Order a bouquet of stock in Moscow
If a colour has taken your eye, order the bouquet in the catalogue; for advice on the season and the scent, write to the manager, as stock is at its best in its own time. We will assemble it from fresh flowers, show you a photograph before dispatch and carry it carefully across Moscow and the region.
