For Klahanie - Hesperis matronalis (Sweet Rocket)after cutting back

K - I promised to let you know whether the 'cutting back' worked, and finally the Sweet Rocket has flowered again, but with smaller flowers (no doubt it would work better if done earlier in the season).

Not many of my seeds have germinated, but I think there will be a few for next year. :)

They're such a great plant, aren't they Karen. Mine were growing tall with a clump of top-heavy flowers at least 3 ft up, so it was an experiment to cut one or two back and see what would happen. (I got the seed from Sarah Raven . . not sure if I'll manage to collect seed from these . . . )

Thanks Sheila for letting me know. I will be collecting seeds and plant it in different place . Good to know that they re-bloom and take not that long....if I remember correctly.
