💜 Dame’s Rocket
💜 Botanical Name: Hesperis matronalis
💜 Type: Biennial or Short-lived Perennial

Dame’s Rocket is a graceful, old-fashioned flower known for its clusters of four-petaled blooms in shades of lavender, purple, pink, and white.

A magnet for bees, butterflies, and moths, this easy-to-grow plant self-seeds readily, making it a favourite in wildflower meadows, cottage gardens, and woodland edges.
