Old Spice Highly Scented Sweet Peas

This elegant, highly perfumed sweet pea features creamy pale petal edged with soft violet. A favorite for English cottage gardens since its arrival from Italy in 1699. Old Spice sweet pea varieties are more heat tolerant than other sweet peas. Packet is 2g.

Planting

Sweet peas perform best when sown directly in the garden. Nick the seed coat and soak in warm water 24 hours before planting to encourage germination. Plant outdoors in early spring as soon as the soil can be worked. Prefers rich, well-amended, well-drained soil and full sun, and will appreciate afternoon shade on hot days.

Note

Snip faded blossoms regularly and remove seed pods to encourage more blooms.
