High Scented Sweet Pea

High Scented Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus) Incredibly fragrant, large, cream-coloured flowers with lavender edges make this sweet pea a traditional favourite. This is one of the most fragrant sweet peas we grow next to the Percy Proudfoot. The long stems also make it an excellent cut flower, with the sturdy vines easily reaching 4-5 feet. The flowers have a reasonably long bloom time and plants are great for trellises and screening.
