My love is the night violet Mattiola

The subtle and delicate aroma of flowers enchants everyone. Especially when the most tender memories are associated with any aroma. And one of the most sophisticated floral scents is the scent of a rather inconspicuous flower. And this miracle is called - Night violet Mattiola. For me, the scent of matthiola is youth. then my mother planted matthiola on the balcony and its delicate aroma hovered over our yard, where we sat until late. White nights, summer, friends...

It is clear why this flower is called night violet. Its simple, inconspicuous flowers open in the evening, enveloping everything around with a subtle, enchanting aroma. Why violet is not clear, most likely for the same charm that is inherent in violets.

Mattiola bicorne, which is the correct name for the night violet, belongs to the cruciferous family. Well, yes, she is a relative of the rape - just as whimsical, just as calm. Mattiola will not be picked for bouquets. But anyone who appreciates the charm of flowers will definitely decorate their garden or balcony with it.

Night violet is sown directly into the ground at the end of April or May. It is very, let's say, early ripening; its development cycle from a seed planted in the ground to flowering is only 60 days. That is why matthiola can be sown several times, every 15 days. Then the wonderful, romantic, exquisite aroma of night violet will enchant you all summer.

Matthiola bicorne is unpretentious, but it is still preferable to grow it in a sunny or slightly shaded place.She is equally calm about the type of soil. If the soil is light and nutritious, matthiola can be sown in winter; it will easily sprout when the weather is warm.

Good luck!
