    When I first started to take an interest in propagating from seed I grew some Mignonette and seem to remember that seed of this plant used to be readily available. I 've had a couple of catalogues this year (including Thompson & Morgan) but they don't offer Mignonette.
    Does anyone know of a company that supplies the seed as I'd like to grow it again.

    Mignonette is also known as Reseda, perhaps your catalogues have it under this name? Reseda odorata is the common variety. Hope this helps.

    I had this for a few years in Bucks and I remember it was wonderful. May have to try it here.

    Thanks for this.No Reseda in any of the catalogues I've had so far. Good old Mr Fothergill! I shall wait for his catalogue to arrive (I notice that the seed-companies are sending them out later this year).
