Product Description
Lathyrus odoratus 'Almost Black' is a very glamorous thing
– a sweet pea in an incredibly dark,
luscious colour and
incredible scent.
This is a modern grandiflora sweet pea. The recent breeding triumph has to be the incredible new band of ‘Modern Grandifloras’ with all the royal cards in their hand. These have been developed to have large flowers, lots of them, with long stems of the Spencer types, with the bonus of fantastic scent of ‘Matucana’ and its early brigade. 9/10 scent
