About Dames Rocket

**THIS ITEM CANNOT BE SOLD INTO CO OR WI**

A real show stopper that escorts in spring each year with its brilliant lavender blooms that resemble phlox. These flowers give off a sweet evening fragrance. Dames Rocket will bloom the second year after planting, and will reseed itself. Roadsides are often decorated with these beauties that prefer full sun to partial shade. This biennial blooms May and June.
