Lathyrus odoratus 'Lady Turrel'
The sweet pea, Lathyrus odoratus, 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. They make excellent cut flowers. Plants need a cool moist root run, and regular watering in dry weather.
Lathyrus odoratus 'Lady Turrel' is an old-fashioned sweet pea, with bicoloured magenta flowers with a strong scent. It will quickly climb a trellis or obelisk, for a flush of scented summer flowers.
For best results, feed Lathyrus odoratus 'Lady Turrel' with a high potash fertiliser once a fortnight, and cut blooms regularly to prolong flowering.
