Reseda Alba White Mignonette Tall White Summer Flower Heads
WHITE MIGNONETTE
The tall white flower heads rise up grandly amidst the other plants in a border of annuals. White mignonette makes an imposing impression, but remains very ordinary. It benefits all the other flowering plants, which show up far better when combined with mignonette. It is strange that the plant is seen so rarely, despite the fact that its flowers are wonderfully fragrant and it is very much an “architectural” plant, a species with a strong, clear form. Do sow this treasure - either directly in the garden in April-May, or indoors in March. It comes into flower as early as June and goes on until September, at least at the top of the plant, which grows to a height of 20-39 in. By then, the small green fruits will have appeared further down the stems. Sow several times in succession if you would like compact plants over a longer period.
