Evening Scent is an old-fashioned annual treasured for its sweet nighttime fragrance and delicate lavender-pink flowers. The blooms are modest during the day, but as evening approaches they open more fully and release a rich, clove-like perfume that can carry through the garden. This makes Evening Scent an excellent choice for patios, porches, walkways, moon gardens, and any area where its fragrance can be enjoyed after sunset.
Garden Uses:
Perfect for fragrance gardens, evening gardens, moon gardens, cottage gardens, containers, window boxes, patio plantings, and borders near sitting areas. Evening Scent is especially effective when planted close to doors, decks, benches, and walkways. It combines well with nicotiana, sweet alyssum, mignonette, stocks, night phlox, petunias, and other fragrant annuals.
Growing Information:
Sow seeds directly outdoors in spring after danger of frost has passed, or start indoors 4–6 weeks early. Cover lightly with soil and keep evenly moist until germination. Plants prefer full sun to partial shade and average, well-drained soil. Evening Scent grows quickly and usually performs best when sown in succession every few weeks for an extended season of fragrance. Plants typically reach 12–18 inches tall with a loose, airy habit.
