(Lathyrus odoratus) 4 inch pot
How do we explain Juliet, the new “it” girl of sweet peas? Everyone is talking about her right now. Not in a loud way, but a lean-in-and-whisper sort of way. Like a celebrity just walked in the room and you want an autograph (and a photo).
She’s perfectly creamy, perfectly blush, perfectly perfect, with big ruffly petals. And the scent is HEAVY.
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.
