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 multi colour blooms on tall 100 cm branching stems. Still the same sultry evening fragrance that drifts on those early summer nights. A favourite of the swallowtail butterfly. Type: Perennial Zone: 3-9 Light: sun Soil: moist, sandy loam Spacing: 30cm Height: 100cm Season: early summer Propagation: Direct seed in a sunny location in spring. Does not like to be transplanted. SEED COUNT: Approx. 400 |
