Summary

| Description |
English: Dame's Violet (Hesperis matronalis) Also known as Sweet Rocket, this Crucifer was introduced to Britain in the 14th Century, has spread and gained naturalised status. The genus name Hesperis is Greek for evening, and the name was probably given because the scent of the flowers becomes more conspicuous towards evening. It can be a food plant for the caterpillars of orange tip 1823295 and cabbage white butterflies but its prolific seed production can make it somewhat invasive in certain habitats to the detriment of native flora http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesperis_matronalis
The white form of the plant is also found in this location 1360565 |
