Old Spice Sweet Pea (Lathyrus Odoratus Old Spice America) - Truly an old-fashioned flower, sweet peas have been cultivated since the 1800's. Old Spice Sweet Peas perform better in warm climates than other varieties. This heirloom variety that has stunning white flowers streaked with red with a heavenly scent. This antique variety is from 1896 and has 2 - 3 huge and lovely looking blooms that are bunched on each long stem. A good variety where summer heat will not usually allow sweet peas to grow well. Grow on a trellis for the best cut flowers, or let twine through bushes for an informal look.
For best germination, Sweet Pea seeds need to be scarified before sowing. Nicking the seed with a nail clipper breaks the outer coat so they can absorb water immediately. By doing this a larger percentage of the seeds will germinate and they will sprout a few days earlier. After nicking the seed, soak the Sweet Peas seeds over night in tepid water. Do this the night before sowing the flower seeds directly outside.
