The beauty of night violet or matthiola lies in the aroma emanating from it. Matthiola smells like in the evening and at nightThat’s why the plant is called night violet. Its light, unobtrusive aroma goes perfectly with the coolness of a summer evening. Even a casual passer-by, catching this sweetish smell, will stop for a while to find the source of the aroma and enjoy it to the fullest.

I just love matthiola! Every year I make sure to plant it in flower pots on the balcony. All summer long the apartment is filled with a surprisingly subtle aroma in the evenings. A miracle, not a plant, even though it looks inconspicuous.

What is this beautiful flower called in English, so that I can buy it here abroad. Or if you know where I can buy it? I remember my mother always planted a night violet, and in the evening such a wonderful smell emanated from it that I wanted to stand for hours and inhale this delicate aroma.
