D. Stock--Evening Scented
Matthiola longipetala subsp. bicornis
(mat-tee-OH-luh)
1' h x 6" w | HHA | Self sows
Abandoned by big commercial seed houses, this
cottage garden charmer has dainty lavender and
white four-petaled blossoms, each wee flower
releasing an intoxicating scent in the evening
hours. Sow directly in the garden in spring

ward looking when not in bloom.
