Sweet rocket, also known as dame's rocket or Hesperis matronalis, is a flowering plant admired for its fragrant blooms. It's often mistaken for phlox, but sweet rocket has four petals instead of five. The flowers come in shades of purple, pink, and white, adding a splash of color to gardens. It thrives in moist soil and partial shade, making it a favorite in woodland gardens. Imagine it as the chill, less showy but still cool cousin of a rose.
