Description

Good long stems with many flowers on a stem and TONS of flowers on the plants. This did well in the Parham sweet pea trial I wrote about for The Telegraph in 2017. We then trialled it at Perch Hill last summer and we loved it’s simple cheeriness. Good scent 8/10.

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.
