Mignonette Machet Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perReseda odorata
Machet is an old-fashioned annual Mignonette treasured for its wonderfully sweet, spicy fragrance. The slender flower spikes carry clusters of small, understated greenish-cream flowers, making this a plant grown more for its remarkable perfume than showy colour.
Long cultivated in cottage and perfume gardens, fragrant Mignonette flowers have traditionally been used in perfumery and for their aromatic oils, while Reseda species also have a history of use as natural yellow dyes. Plant near paths, windows, entrances or outdoor sitting areas where the fragrance can be appreciated.
Machet grows well in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil. It performs particularly well in mild conditions and can be succession sown for a longer flowering season.
Seed count: approximately 750 seeds/g
Approximately 500 seeds per packet
When to Plant (Australia)
Tropics: Autumn to winter
Subtropics: Autumn to spring
Mild climates: Autumn and spring

Planting / Sowing
Sow directly where plants are to grow, covering seed lightly with soil. Keep moist during germination and establishment.

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.
