(Lathyrus odoratus) 4 inch pot
This sweet pea is a Happy Coneflower original, bred on their farm and named after a sassy donkey Blondie. Standards are a light pinkish apricot and wings are pale pink. Flowers fade to pale pink all over. Grow with us and this is the first year we are trialing!
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!
