Sweet Pea Mammoth Mix

An early season delight, Sweet Pea Mammoth Mix ushers in the garden year with fragrance, color, and an unmistakable sense of romance. Ruffled blooms unfurl in a joyful array of shades-rose, coral, lavender, cream, violet and jewel-toned reds. These generous, long stemmed sweet peas are prized not only for their color range but for their perfume: fresh, nostalgic, and unmistakably spring.  Light and fluttering in the vase, their blooms as well as wispy tendrils of green are pure delight.

Latin name: Lathryus odoratus

Annual

Sow 1/4"-1/2" deep 4-5 weeks before planting.  After hardening off, theses plants can tolerate light frost.  Also can direct seed.  These plants are early bloomers and can tolerate heat and draught well.  They do grow tall, so some kind of support netting (like Hortonova) is recommended.

Harvest when there are at least two unopened flowers on the tip of the stem.  Sweet peas are also heavy feeders and like rich soil.

Package contains 50 seeds
