Lathyrus odoratus ‘Percy Thrower’ is a robust Spencer-type sweet pea, with large, strongly scented creamy blooms with a subtle purple flush.
It's 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, grow Lathyrus odoratus ‘Percy Thrower’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
