Unit price perHesperis matronalis
Dame's Rocket, also known as Sweet Rocket, is an old-fashioned cottage garden favourite producing loose clusters of violet, pink and white flowers on tall, graceful stems. The flowers have a sweet, spicy fragrance reminiscent of cloves, becoming particularly noticeable in the evening.
The abundant blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects and make lovely additions to informal cut flower arrangements. Cutting spent flower spikes can encourage further flowering and also helps prevent unwanted self-seeding.
The flowers, young leaves, tender stems and immature seed pods are edible, with a fresh, slightly peppery flavour similar to cress. Older leaves become tough and are generally not used for eating.
Hardy and adaptable, Dame's Rocket grows well in full sun or light shade and fits beautifully into cottage gardens, woodland edges and informal flower plantings.
Seed count: approximately 470 seeds/g
Approximately 60 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Autumn to winter
Mild climates: Autumn and spring
Cold climates: Spring to early summer
Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow or raise in trays, covering the seed lightly. Keep moist during germination and establishment.
Thin or transplant seedlings to approximately 30–40 cm apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Remove spent flower spikes to encourage repeat flowering or allow selected plants to set seed for natural regeneration.
Due to quarantine restrictions, TAS has an 800g limit per each seed variety.

FLOWER SEEDS WITH EDEN
Flower seeds: As fellow gardening enthusiasts we share the love for planting and nurturing our own flowers in addition to our veggie gardens. Our carefully selected range of flower seeds, available for convenient online purchase, holds a special place in our hearts. Like the endangered vegetables we've championed, these flower varieties face the risk of vanishing forever. Some of these older strains are incredibly rare, and it's a source of immense pride for us to offer and deliver these precious flower seeds Australia-wide.
