| Does anyone know where to find the seeds for this? I am pretty new to seed collecting, although I have saved some "easy" ones like marigold, dandelions (joking), sweet peas, etc. I'm not sure where to find these. Some of my hesperis has started to lose its blossom and I would like to get the seed.
Thanks for any help Shauna |

| They send out long pods with seeds that fall out when the pods crack. They are long and slim. I would take extra care to be sure that hesperis is not considered an invasive in your or neighboring areas. |

| Oh, Oh! It's not on the "official" list but it certainly is on the "watch out for" list. Thanks for the heads up. Guess these seedpods don't need to form. Thanks again |

| Shauna, I don't find them invasive at all here in my garden, they do self-seed but they are very easy to pluck out. |

| The empty lot next to ours gets full of sweet rocket in the spring/summer. They are so beautiful and smell wonderful. Definitely one 'weed' I do not mind looking at and smelling. Now they have graded the lot so they can build. I sure am going to miss those 'weeds! |
