Zaluzianskya ovata
1844Summary
Zaluzianskya ovata, the night scented phlox, is a species of flowering plant in the family Scrophulariaceae, native to Lesotho and South Africa (Cape Province, KwaZulu-Natal, Free State). Growing to 50 cm (20 in) tall and broad, this short-lived evergreen perennial has slightly sticky leaves, and notched white daisy-like flowers with red backs. It is valued in cultivation for its intense fragrance, especially at night. As it is not completely hardy it is often grown as a summer bedding plant to be discarded after flowering. It is a suitable subject for container growing, preferring a position in full sun. It is not closely related to the true phloxes, nor to the plant known as night scented stock, Matthiola longipetala....read more on Wikipedia.
