Sweet Peas
Lathyrus odoratus
4-inch pot
 
The sweet pea is an annual flower that is at home in a cutting garden, border garden, woodland, or twining lazily on a rustic trellis or an arch. The flowers come in a huge range of colors, from pearly white through ice cream pastels to ritzy magentas and inky purples.
 
Their dainty winged blossoms are matched only by their honey and orange blossom perfume. The combination of the delightful scent and the ability to produce so many blooms for the house over a long period of cutting has ensured their popularity.
