Dame's Rocket

Wonderfully fragrant, traditional garden plant. It blooms in early summer with violet flowers. Towards dusk on warm summer evenings, waves of a sweet, almost orchid-like fragrance spread across the garden. The plants are biennial but will happily keep growing in the garden as they self-seed. Allow it to linger in a corner with other traditional plants. Very undemanding and hardy plant, thrives in most locations. Flowers the year after sowing.
