Lathyrus odoratus 'Royal Wedding'

Plant details

White-flowered sweet pea, 'Royal Wedding' is one of Graham Rice's favourite annuals. The scented, wavy blooms of this annual climber are held on long stems, making them perfect for cut flowers. Like all sweet peas, they are easy to grow. Simply sow in pots in autumn or early spring, or outdoors where they are to flower in mid-spring. Train them up a support, such as netting or a wigwam of canes. They produce curly tendrils to attach themselves to their support so they do not need to be tied in after they are initially planted. Water well in dry weather. As an annual, they last only one year and will need to be sown from seed each spring.
