LATHYRUS ODORATUS

Susan was one of those elusive varieties I had heard about, knew I desperately wanted but couldn't find seeds for a good long while. But oh boy she did not disappoint when I finally met her in person! One of the most vigorous varieties I've grown, in such a unique warm slightly antique shade of rosy pink.

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.
