Is this Cestrum Nocturnum?

Hi,

I bought some Cestrum Nocturnum seeds from ebay.

Neither the foliage nor the flowers, resemble the photos on the net, I've seen.

The flowers are small, awkward, white with a lilac/lavender band.

The plant is floppy. I wonder if it is a vine of some sort.

The flowers are silently fragrant at night, sweet with a hint of Jasmine.

Could you tell me what the plant is?

Malcolmia species perhaps?

Could be Matthiola longipetala, Night Scented Stock.

Thank you both for your response.

I believe it is Matthiola longipetala, Flora uk.

I checked the Malcolmia flowers, saltcedar,but they don't resemble mine.
