The Sweet Pea Collection
Sweet peas are utterly and completely fabulous.Â
Amazingly prolific (they’ll flower for months if you keep on cutting them), an array of gorgeous colours, and surely one of the most beautiful scents ever?Â
Sow them from October to April into root trainers, as they have deep roots. I like to sow them in the autumn and overwinter them in an unheated greenhouse to produce earlier, taller flowers the following year. But I’ll also do a spring sowing just to make sure I get a continuous flow of these magical, nostalgic flowers through the summer months Â
This beautiful box contains five different full-sized packets of sweet peasÂ
Starry Night is one of my personal favourites. Â Rich jewel-like colours and a wonderful scent
Swan Lake is a beauty, with pure white, ruffled petalsÂ
