Lathyrus odoratus ‘Olive D’ is a lovely sweet pea, bearing large maroon-striped flowers with a good fragrance. A reliable grower, it will quickly cover a trellis or obelisk in the garden or a container, and makes a fantastic cut flower.
For best results, feed Lathyrus odoratus ‘Olive D’ fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
