Flower Stock Iron Purple offers premium florist-grade quality with rich, regal purple coloring and exceptional uniformity, ideal for upscale floral design and commercial cut-flower operations. These Non-GMO heirloom seeds produce early, single-stem column-type plants yielding one superior flowering stem per plant—optimized for efficient one-cut harvest and consistent productivity. Iron Purple's aptly named rigid, straight stems reach 24–28 inches and support tightly spaced florets creating compact 1½–2 inch flower spikes in deep, sophisticated purple with a full, luxurious appearance. The variety demonstrated outstanding performance across spring, early summer, and fall trials, with natural double-flower production at 55% without selection and selectable for higher double rates through selective breeding. Compared to Katz, Iron blooms slightly later with somewhat shorter, thicker stems—a beneficial trade-off that enhances structural integrity and extends vase life significantly. Stock Iron Purple's peppery, clove-like flavored blooms also serve as elegant edible garnishes for salads, desserts, and beverages, adding culinary versatility. With a 100-day harvest window and 70% or better germination rate, this variety ensures reliable, premium results. Important: Do not pinch plants, as this terminates flowering. David's Garden Seeds® provides these sustainable, Non-GMO seeds in environmentally responsible, reusable, and fully recyclable packaging.
