Sweet Pea 'Prince of Orange'
Sweet Pea 'Prince of Orange'
Lathyrus odoratus
One of my favourite sweet peas to grow in the patch is prince of Orange with its vibrant pinky coral-orange colouring it simply glows in the garden! Its stunning blossoms illuminate the landscape, and the plants yield an abundance of flowers supported by robust, vigorous vines. Sweet peas are a true cottage garden staple which make wonderful cut and come again flowers from early Spring into Summer. Every garden deserves a patch and a bouquet inside your house to enjoy the nostalgic aroma.
