Sweet Pea Seeds

Sweet Pea Seeds

Sweet Pea Seeds (Lathyrus odoratus). This is the original sweet pea from which most other sweet peas are descended. It is the most fragrant sweet pea ever with 3-4 purple/blue bicolor flowers per stem. It was introduced more than 300 years ago. Plant in ordinary but fertile soil in a sheltered sunny location, water freely and mulch to keep the roots cool. Remove the faded blooms promptly. Most sweet peas need support to climb up or a low wall to grow over. Direct seed in autumn or spring. Soak seeds overnight before sowing. The seeds are toxic.
