Many plants of this genus bear showy, fragrant flowers in shades of purple and white. One of the more widely known species is the common garden flower Hesperis matronalis. The genus name Hesperis was probably given because the scent of the flowers becomes more conspicuous towards evening (Hespera is the Greek word for evening).Species include: Hesperis anatolica Hesperis armena Hesperis aspera Hesperis balansae Hesperis bicuspidata Hesperis bottae Hesperis dinarica Hesperis kitiana Hesperis kotschyana Hesperis hyrcana Hesperis laciniata Hesperis matronalis Hesperis pendula Hesperis persica Hesperis pisidica Hesperis podocarpa Hesperis rupestris Hesperis scabrida Hesperis schischkinii Hesperis sibirica Hesperis slovaca Hesperis trullata Hesperis turkmendagensis Hesperis varolii
