Sweet Rocket

Packet contents: 1000 seeds

Sweet Rocket is biennial, but usually self seed to come back for years. In the first year a low rosette of green leaves is formed. The following spring they produce upright branching heads of fragrant phlox-like flowers,  in pure white colour. Seedlings may be moved in spring or autumn. Great for cutting. The flowers will also attract butterflies and bees to your garden. Ideal for filling gaps in borders as it will reach height of up to 80 cm.

Sowing: Sweet Rocket is easy to grow and the seeds can be sown directly into a well prepared bed where they are to flower from March to July. They will do well in any well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Thin when seedlings are large enough. Alternatively, they can be grown inside in containers from February onwards and then planted out. Sow the seeds using fine seed compost and transplant once the seedlings are large enough.

Flowers: May to June/July

Standard EU seed for the hobby gardener, packed in the UK.

Tip: Let some flowers go to seed to encourage self-seeding for year after year flowering.
