Cutting Stock

Can anyone tell me if stock is "one cut and done" or if it will send up side shoots similar to snapdragons that can be cut later? Thanx.

I have never grown stock and don't know the answer to your question. But since no one responded, I thought I'd look it up and see what I could find. I didn't find a direct answer, but I did find out that stock is a cool season annual that doesn't bloom well once it warms up.

"Stock thrives in cooler weather or climates. They will not form flower buds in temperatures higher than the mid 60s." https://www.gardenersnet.com/flower/stock.htm

So it may be too late for them to bloom more... I don't know about you, but we are having temps near 90! Sounds like not weather for stocks!
