How to recognise it

Tall spike with densely packed florets along stem
Grey-green, soft, slightly fuzzy lance-shaped leaves
Strong, sweet clove-like scent
Sturdy, somewhat woody stem
Single or double florets depending on type

Care

Strip any foliage that would sit below the waterline, as it fouls water quickly. Recut stems at an angle and use clean water with flower food. Keep away from ripening fruit and other ethylene sources, as stock is ethylene-sensitive and may wilt or drop florets. Keep cool and change water regularly.
