Mignonette

Reseda odorata. A traditional Victorian cottage garden plant, Mignonette's medium green foliage yields plump, dense spires of chartreuse and white flowers that fade to cream. While the plant is not overly showy, the flowers are intensely fragrant, with a sweet and spicy scent that makes a wonderful addition to floral arrangements. Even dried, the flowers retain their fragrance for several months, and can be added to homemade potpourri. Annual. Height: 12" to 24".

One packet of about 100 seeds
