Product Description
Hesperis Matronalis 'Purple' has scented mauve flowers which look wonderful in a huge jug or vase and scent a room. Pick the flowers and the
seed pods as a foliage
filler in the vase throughout
the summer.
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.
