Sweet Pea 'Wiltshire Ripple'
Sweet Pea 'Wiltshire Ripple'
4 inch pot
One of our favorite spring flowers are Lathyrus odoratus (better known as Sweet Pea). These highly fragrant, vigorous little climbers reach anywhere between 6-8 feet tall and explode into flower all spring long. I try to grow many different varieties every year to find out my absolute favorite.. you can imagine my list just keeps getting longer and longer! 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 soil moist.
