Hesperis matrionalis (Sweet Rocket Purple)

Lovely short lived hardy perennial that will seed around gently. The perfumed flowers pervade the air. Sow from April without heat, they will flower the following spring, or sow earlier with heat to get flowering plants the same year. Min 50 seeds

The seed we offer can be sown anytime from January to September. Sowing between January and April will require slight warmth (15°C to 21°C) to maintain germination. Later sowings from April to September will not require artificial heat, they will require protection from sudden downpours or extremes of temperature. Seed trays may dry out more easily in summer sun. Further detailed sowing information is sent with the seeds.
