Our range of Mignonette seeds, annuals or biennials prized for their discreet yet intensely fragrant flowering. The Fragrant Mignonette 'Grandiflora' (Reseda odorata) is one of the best-known with its spikes of small green-yellow flowers exuding a sweet fragrance. The Reseda luteola, or weld is a tall native, biennial to perennial dye plant with long yellow floral spikes. Less common, the Reseda alba offers whitish flower clusters with a delicate appearance. These melliferous plants that attract pollinators have their rightful place in natural gardens and large country borders.
The Mignonette thrives in well-drained, poor to moderately fertile soil, and a sunny exposure. It self-seeds readily under favourable conditions. Sow directly in place in spring or late summer for flowering the following year.
