Sweet Peas (Lathyrus odoratus)
Sweet Peas are a cottage garden classic and a small bouquet of these blooms fill an entire room with a wonderful fragrance. Sweet peas make a great cut-flower and the colorful blooms liven up our garden every spring. Our sweet pea mix is a range of colors from whites to pinks and purples. The pea vines grow from 5-7ft. tall and we sow them to grow up a trellis, fence or wall.
