Description

This one is white and the palest pink - spectacular, with long stems. It flowers for almost twice as long as others. 7/10 scent.

Spencer type sweet peas were initially bred by Silas Cole, a gardener working for the Spencer family in 1900. Everyone went mad for this frilly, flamboyant, scented flower and lots of work went into expanding the range so that they gradually became available in almost every colour.

No garden is complete without sweet peas. Grow them over arches, teepees and trellis and plant them with your runner beans to draw lots of insect pollinators into your veg patch. Sweet peas are all easy to grow and will fill your garden and house with the best scent ever.

Care Tips

Plant seedlings out during a mild spell March-May, providing support. Tie the stems into your framework on a regular basis and pinch out tendrils.
