Lathyrus odoratus 'Starlight' is a striped sweet pea, meaning it has a darker colour stippled over a light background, from a central spot. ‘Starlight’ has cream and purple flowers, the colour of which becomes deeper with maturity. The blooms have a fantastic fragrance.
It’s an ideal choice for the garden, and will quickly cover a trellis or obelisk. For best results, feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
