(Lathyrus odoratus) 4 inch pot
Move over King’s Ransom (I can’t believe we are even saying this) there’s a new guy in town! A wonderful Spencer bred by Peter Grayson in the year 2000, and naming it MM (2000 in roman numerals) has the same smokey raspberry qualities like King’s Ransom, but easier to find, a better plant and a little bit less unknown- adding to the mystique. This one is worth a spot in your garden!
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.
