LATHYRUS ODORATUS

Southbourne is a lovely large flowered soft pink, perhaps a little cooler shade of pink than some of our other pink sweet peas. Reminds me of Patricia Marilyn, which we didn't grow this year, so I'll have to grow them side by side next season to see how they compare (or if my memory was playing tricks on me).

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.
