Quick Overview

Hesperis matronalis white. Sweet rocket

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.
