Sweet Pea (Lathyrus Latifolius Pearl Pink) - This ever popular Everlasting Sweet Pea is smothered in showy sprays of delicate pink flowers all summer long. It grows easily from flower seeds and is a vigorous, perennial climber. The pink flowers look lovely scrambling over a sunny wall, or growing up an old fence. Despite its lack of scent, Everlasting Pea Vine is one of the finest cut flowers and is always a colorful addition to the flower garden.
Sweet Pea flower seeds germinate better if they have been nicked and then soaked over night in warm water. Sow the perennial seeds directly outdoors after frost season has passed. Have a trellis or wire for them to attach to as they will begin to climb very quickly after germination.
