The sweet pea, Lathyrus odorous, is a hardy annual climber with winged stems, mid-green foliage and fragrant flowers. Many cultivars have been developed, including 'old fashioned' sweet peas and popular Spencer cultivars.Sweet peas can be trained to grow up canes for high-quality blooms, or allowed to scramble freely up a trellis or obelisk. Plants need a cool moist root run, helped by mulching after planting, and regular watering in dry weather.
Lathyrus odoratus 'Evening Glow' bears soft-pink flowers with a light fragrance. For best results, feed with a high potash fertiliser once a fortnight, and cut blooms regularly to prolong flowering.
