Lathyrus odoratus

A top favourite in the patch with its unique inky grey blooms that are deeply streaked and rimmed with an egg plant coloring. Similar to Suzy Z but more of a deep purple colouring 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.
