Sweet Pea 'King's Ransom'
Sweet Pea 'King's Ransom'
4 inch pot
The most anticipated Sweet Pea last year was King’s Ransom. It was such an absolutely insanely gorgeous color variation we kept every last bloom on the vine to set seed. We are excited to be able to offer plants for your gardens this year, and promise to share the blooms to our local florists!
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!
