Plant details
Perhaps less commonly grown because of its demure colouring, sweet mignonette was once widely used in cottage gardens and as a cut flower. The species has subdued, tiny, greenish flowers with orange anthers. Planting it beside a doorway or under a window ensures its sweet perfume can be enjoyed in the summer evening air.
