Plant description
Rich blue-purple flowers, which look wonderful when allowed to mingle with plum, lilac and cerise, appear continuously throughout the summer if you deadhead regularly. These much-loved, scented flowers are an essential ingredient in the cottage garden, but in smaller spaces, you can grow them in big pots. In our (not very scientific) sweet pea trial on the nursery, we found that the flowers of this variety had a bathroom-freshener fragrance and were held on 6 - 8" stems. There were not too many left in August though. All the sweet peas in our trial produced significantly better plants when the seeds were sown in autumn rather than spring.
