The Brief and Glorious History of the Gilly

Pro Tip

Originating from Europe and the Mediterranean, stock flowers gained popularity in Victorian England. Thomas Jefferson is credited with introducing stock flowers to the United States around 1771, planting them at Monticello and igniting a floral trend, hence sometimes referred to as Virginia stock. During the Middle Ages, stock flowers held value as currency for land transactions in England. In Victorian times, they were believed to possess healing properties, used not only for decorative purposes but also to treat ailments like venomous bites and aid digestion.

Gilly

Gillyflower, also known as Stock, possesses the ability to attract butterflies, pollinators, and bees. It is also super easy to grow and maintain; is edible, fast-growing, and fragrant. This traditional flower exhibits a broad spectrum of colors and a unique, spicy-sweet aroma. It's highly favored by growers for its quick maturation, even in cooler conditions, facilitating season extension and holiday sales. With harvestable crops achievable within 10–12 weeks under at least 13 hours of daylight, stock stands out as one of the earliest cut flowers, fitting well in container, cut flower, dried flower, fragrant, and landscaping gardens, and resistant to deer.
