Now a naturalized wildflower over much of North America, Sweet Rocket is originally native to Europe. Plants are biennial, but usually self seed to come back for years. In the first year, a low rosette of green leaves is formed. The following spring they produce upright branching heads of fragrant phlox-like flowers, in a mix of pastel pink, mauve and white. Seedlings may be moved in spring or fall. Great for cutting. Attractive to butterflies. Widely known as Dame’s Rocket and very often mistaken for Phlox.
