Those look like 'Matucana' to me. I prefer the appearance of the
flowers to that of the modern frilly monsters. If you don't want to
reduce further flowering by allowing yours to set seed, you could buy
a packet of seeds to distribute among your friends and relatives.

Ah.....So then should I pick off the pods as they are now?
Should I dead head the rest of teh flowers to help keep it flowering?

From

"The original sweet pea was a purple & blue bicolour (two similar
cultivars are listed in modern catalogues as 'Cupani' and 'Matucana')"

Ah....In that case I'll ask at the local garden centre...
I didn't realise I had such a generic brand....B-)

Thanks
