Description
One of the most magical flowers of early spring, Sweet Rocket enchants with romantic blooms in the palest shade of lavender. The softly scented flowers—sweeter than stock—carry beautifully on long, slender stems, making them perfect for bouquets and floral arrangements. A favourite for its fragrance and cottage garden charm, sweet rocket brings a gentle elegance to the spring garden.
Please note: Sweet rocket is considered invasive in some regions. Be sure to check with your local guidelines before planting.
