Graceful Mix Sweet Pea

Lathyrus odoratus
 
My mom has taught me to always have sweet peas in your garden.  She is a wonderful flower grower and has always grown stunning sweet peas to cut and give away.  The fragrance melts me and I look forward to them every year.  This mix contains a wide range of colors from white to dark and lavender purples to reds and pinks perfect for a beautiful bouquet.  Sweet Peas need a trellis - this variety grows to 5' tall. 
 
Sweet peas can be a challenge to germinate but once they get going they are tough.  Increase germination by nicking the seed coat then pre-sprout indoors by soaking in a wet paper towel.  Finally, sow in pots to transplant or plant the presprouted seeds.  Alternately, direct sow in cool soils of late February/March.  Give them time and  they will typically sprout on thier own out in the garden.  Sow ½” deep and thin to 4”.
