🌸 Flower of the Week: Stocks 🌸

This week at Hip Poppy, we’re celebrating a flower that’s full of fragrance, charm, and soft countryside beauty — the Stock.

Known for their tall, elegant stems and soft ruffled petals, stocks are one of those flowers that quietly steal the show. They bring a romantic, almost nostalgic touch to arrangements, and their gentle scent? Absolutely dreamy — a sweet, clove-like fragrance that reminds us of warm evenings and slow mornings.

The Language of FlowersIn the Victorian language of flowers, stocks represent lasting beauty, a happy life, and deep bonds of affection. They’re often given to symbolise contentment and a full, joyful heart — perfect for someone you love or for reminding yourself of everything good already blooming around you.

Why we love them:Stocks are the perfect blend of delicate and uplifting. Their subtle pastel tones — think creamy whites, dusty pinks, lilacs, and buttery yellows — pair beautifully with bolder blooms or shine all on their own in a more minimal mix. They add height, softness, and that lovely fluttery texture we adore in our hatbox arrangements.

This week, you’ll find stocks blooming across:✨ Self Love & Serenity — for a soft, soothing palette🌼 Happiness Burst — for texture and lift among the colour🌷 Standard hatboxes — giving our classic designs that extra romantic edge

Flower tip:Stocks love fresh water and a cool spot — and if you’re lucky, you might catch a second flush of blooms from the side stems. Try placing them near your workspace or bedside for a calming scent boost throughout the day.
