Sweet Pea
A wonderful, scented climbing plant with richly coloured flowers. The seed are sown in April direct and not too shallow. The flowers are ready for cutting when the lowest flower is fully open. If the dead heads are removed even more flowers will be produced. An old cottage garden flower for covering fences.
