Sweet Pea 'Future Shock'

(Lathyrus odoratus) 4 inch pot

Sweet Pea ‘Future Shock’ bred by the brilliant Dr Keith Hammett. I have been dreaming about seeing this in person for years, and it did not disappoint. Flowers start out with a range of red, coral, and tinged with purple. As they age they take on the most unusual hue, like a mood ring, in a way that only Keith Hammett can achieve.

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!

We do our best to isolate our seed crops, but occasional cross-pollination can occur, meaning plants may not always bloom true to type. We embrace the unexpected beauty that can emerge and because our plant sale is final sale, we hope you do too.
