Dames Violet Plug Plants Hesperis matronalis

Common names include dame's rocket, sweet rocket and dame's gilliflower.

Dame's violet is a charming, fragrant perennial that brings a burst of colour to gardens with its vibrant purple, pink, or white flowers. Often found in wildflower meadows and woodland edges, this native wildflower thrives in moist but well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Its sweet-smelling blooms attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and moths, while its seeds provide food for birds. Ideal for cottage gardens or naturalized landscapes, dame's violet adds a touch of elegance and wildlife-friendly beauty to any space.

Our strong, healthy plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted in their final position.

Sourced from native seed and grown for us in the UK, our plug plants are an ideal way to boost species in a wildflower meadow or to easily establish plants in your garden or in areas where seed germination can be erratic. 

We recommend planting 5 plugs per metre square in groups of at least 3 per species for a naturalistic look.
