About Mignonette

Mignonette, or Reseda, carries slender spikes of small, understated flowers in soft green and cream. What it lacks in flash it more than makes up for in scent, long considered one of the most fragrant of all flowers.

It was a beloved Victorian garden and windowsill plant, prized for perfuming homes, as described on its Wikipedia page.

As a cut flower it brings both subtle green texture and remarkable fragrance, making even a small bunch a memorable addition to an arrangement.
