Sweet Pea 'Spring Sunshine Champagne'
Sweet Pea 'Spring Sunshine Champagne'
4 inch pot.
Absolutely prolific, seemingly lasting forever, Spring Sunshine Champagne is a mainstay in our gardens! She is generally the first to bloom with incredibly long stems. If kept deadheaded she can bloom for months. We love her.
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!
