Synonym(s) Matthiola bicornis Common name evening scented stock Family brassicaceae Life cycle annual Flowers violet (summer) Size 12-18" Light sun-part shade Cultural notes ordinary garden soil From seed germinate at room temperature detailed seed-starting info below Four-petaled pale violet flowers open late in the day and release a strong, sweet fragrance - at least, according to my references. I'm scent-challenged, so I focused on the appearance of the curvy-petaled flowers. Overall a much more delicate plant than common stock, and not as long-blooming.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: bogside border

Seed for this plant is included on my seed trade list
