Sweet Pea 'Blue Ripple'
Sweet Pea 'Blue Ripple'
4 inch pot.
A Spencer variety (needing at least 12 hours of daylight) this is a gorgeous lavender blue Sweet Pea with streaks and flecks throughout and lining the slightly ruffled petal edge. It’s reminiscent of sea glass!
One of our favorite spring flowers is Lathyrus odoratus (better known by its common name, Sweet Pea). These highly fragrant, vigorous little climbers reach anywhere between 6-8 feet tall and explode into flower all spring long. These seeds are grown in our little greenhouse and are ready to plant when you get them home. Give them well-drained, rich soil and lots of compost throughout the season, they’re heavy feeders. Keep that soil moist!
