4 inch pot.

True blue is a rare color in flowers and this is a step closer for Sweet Peas. NZ Gardener was named to celebrate 75 years of publication of the NZ Gardener magazine.

This will be our first year growing this variety and we are so excited to see it in person.

Bred by Dr. Keith Hammett

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!
