Lathyrus odoratus ‘Erewhon' is an excting sweet pea variety, hailed as a breakthrough in modern breeding due to the colour arrangement of its flowers. Unlike other bicolour sweet peas, ‘Erewhon’ has darker lower petals than upper petals, making it a true ‘reverse bicolour’ variety. Flowers also have a fantastic sweet pea fragrance.
Its blue and light pink flowers make ‘Erewhon’ a fantastic choice for growing up a trellis or obelisk in the garden. It also makes a fantastic cut flower.
For best results, feed Lathyrus odoratus ‘Erewhon’ fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
