DAME'S VIOLET (Sweet Rocket)
Hesperis matronalis
The latin translates to "mother of the evening". Bred very little
since it became a popular cottage garden biennial 500 years ago. Still
the same large spikes of purple blooms on tall 150 cm branching stems.
Still the same sultry evening fragrance that drifts on those early
summer nights. A favourite of the swallowtail butterfly. D.S. Dead-head
for prolonged bloom period. Poor soil OK. Zone 3-9. II. O.
$3.00
