Hesperis matronalis Lilac

Product Details

A good lilac form of Sweet Rocket, an incredibly useful early May flowering perennial. Easy to grow and very hardy, it might need a little support to keep the tall stems straight. We grow a long bed of it on our worst soil and if there's any left it has rather splendid purplish seed heads, which dry well. Sows itself about but it's easy to move smaller seedlings. Cut it hard back and you'll get smaller stems later in the season

Sow on arrival in good gritty seed compost

Im Any, even poor rocky soil in full sun

At least 50 seeds
