LATHYRUS ODORATUS

One of the most uniquely coloured sweet pea I've ever seen! Buds start out pale & peachy before opening to a smokey raspberry watermelon colour, and then as they fade they take on a shimmer of antique plum. You absolutely have to see these in person! Summer flowering.

Introduced by King's Seeds (UK).

Sweet peas will need something to climb to be their best selves. Quails love their tender young shoots, so if you have them around sweet peas will need some sort of protection until they are really up and starting to climb out of their reach.
