Sweet Pea 'Anniversary'
- Good for Cutting
- Loved by Pollinators
- Scented
This one is white and the palest pink - spectacular, with long stems
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.
On occasion we may need to send you an alternative variety to the one shown, which will be selected by our growing team to ensure its suitability. It will be of equal or greater value to the original. Please contact our customer service team if there are any problems.
