I'm looking for recommendations for a very fragrant lathyrus. I'm
disappointed with the faint scent of the sweet peas I've grown this year,
and I want something that will knock me out at 10 paces. Preferably pastel
colours, but the strongest, sweetest, headiest fragrance is what I want.

Thanks.

What you want is the old 'Eckford' varieties, my assistant here's been
growing them for us this last two seasons - not quite as big and showy
as the modern ones but the scent is out of this world. You buy them
from the society, I think you need to join the society but then the
seeds only cost about 50p a packet iirc.
