Reseda 'White Mignonette'
White mignonette is a sweet-smelling wild plant which has found its way into back gardens across the world. In Europe it has been cultivated since ancient times and is foraged as a delectable wild plant in Greece and Italy. We love it for its wispy spires of star shaped flowers which grow up to 1m tall. The flowers have a sweet honey scent - not quite as strong as its cousin Reseda odorata, but enough to add another dimension to summer bouquets.
Sow: Sow March-May, broadcast then prick out (seeds are tiny). Plant: 8 weeks after sowing
Harvest: July-September. Pick when bottom third of flowers are open, or when seed heads have already formed. Be gentle, stems are delicate. Stems 60-80cm.
Vase: Expect vase life of 5 days
Notes: Prefers well drained soil.
0.1g (approx 200 seeds). We pack seeds by weight, the number of seeds in a packet is an estimate.
