lunaria annua?
hi as most of you know i'm too useless to be able to upload photos... i saw a plant in botanical gardens yesterday, white flowers, 4 petals, didn't really seem to have spikes like honesty but possibly rain battered, it was around 8 ins high and smelled heavenly, what could it be? of course no label if i want to know what something is there never is! could it be lunaria or is it a stock? a phlox?

8 inches is a bit small but sweet rocket has similar flowers to honesty, smells lovely and comes in white. Honesty also comes in white but the scent is less.

I know, sorry, gardens are a minute from our house so go most days, I,ll ask, though I,ve asked things before and got a few 'don't knows'
Did it look like this Rosemummy?
Sweet rocket (hesperis matronalis) bashed by the rain

Hi dove yes it does but a lot more flowers,I think it is that, wonder if it'd flower this year if I plant seeds? Read (I think) that you can direct sown may?
They're very easy from seed, they do it themselves once you get them started. But your flowers will be probably be next year. It's a biennial or short lived perennial.
