Product Description
Pure scented white sweet rocket flowers that grow happily in sun or shade.
Hesperis matronalis or Dame's Violet grow amazingly happily in sun or shade. I saw an incredible sight of both the purple and white form lining both banks of a river near Thirsk in Yorkshire this year, where Dame’s violet still grows wild. Like foxgloves, it’s in drifts that it works best.
