That's not a Purple Phlox,, it's a Dame's Rocket

Good Morning!  It's that time of year where a lot of my friend's and client's ask me " What is that purple phlox I see blooming everywhere and where can I get some???"  Well, it's not phlox.  It's a Dame's Rocket( Hesperis matronalis)  a biennial flower( biennial means it blooms every other year).  Dame's Rocket spreads by seeding, so it is not a plant that will stay where you put it.  Keep that in mind before you plant it.  Check at  your local garden center for Dame's Rocket.  Happy Gardening!
