Lathyrus odoratus 'Windsor’ is a popular sweet pea for the show bench, bearing dark burgundy flowers with a fantastic fragrance, on long, strong stems. It’s perfect for training up an obelisk or trellis in the garden, or even in a pot on the patio.

For best results, feed Lathyrus odoratus ‘Windsor’ fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
