This plant is a native of Germany and 

 Switzerland : it is hardy, but usually con- 

 sidered only biennial. It has been long 

 cultivated. The flowers are very fragrant 

 in the night: in the day they are quite 

 scentless. It is necessary to raise it from 

 seeds, as it requires renewing often. It 

 will grow in any good garden soil, either 

 in a pot or in a border.
