This deliciously fragrant flowering plant is the most popular annual grown. Mignonette does best in as cools 
situation as possible. When exposed to the full force of summer heat it begins to form seeds, sometimes before 
the spikes are fully grown; even our new large-flowering varieties under such conditions would not develop their 
marked improvements.
