Lathyrus odoratus ‘Pandemonium’ is a flake sweet pea, meaning its flowers have a pale background with a darker shade striped or ‘flaked’ over it. A Spencer-type, its dark pink flaked flowers are large and wavy edged, on strong stems.
Lathyrus odoratus ‘Pandemonium’ is a vigorous climber and will quickly cover a trellis or obelisk in the garden or a container, and makes a fantastic cut flower.
For best results, feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
