Plant description
Each creamy-white petal has a fine pink edge, creating a beautiful bi-coloured bloom that blends well with darker pinks. The flowers, which appear in loose clusters throughout summer, are scented, so ideally they should be planted near a busy path or entranceway where you can enjoy them each time you pass. In our (not very scientific) sweet pea trial on the nursery, we found that this variety did not have the strongest scent, but the flowers were held on long stems to 10" long, and there were still plenty of them in August. All the sweet peas in our trial produced significantly better plants when the seeds were sown in autumn rather than spring.
