Who it's for Great for gardeners who enjoy an evening or moon garden, pollinator lovers who want to support night-flying visitors, and anyone wanting a tough, low-growing carefree flower.

Bloom & care Expect flowering from early to late summer on compact plants about 8-12 inches tall. Grown for its fragrant flowers rather than food, it is especially valuable for evening pollinators like moths. It self-sows and needs little care. One packet plants about 67 sq ft (~105 plants).
