I don't remember who recommended this (Charlie?) but I'm greatly in their
debt. It's absolutely gorgeous. The stems are very short, so I put them
into tiny vases right up to their necks but the scent is the best I've ever
encountered and I really love the colour.



I have grown them for years Sacha, they are the original sweet peas In
believe. The best for scent!

Those are the ones. The story is they were the first introduced to Britain
by the Romans, I think. Following the remarks about them not being strong
climbers we've put some up sticks where they've got to about 3 1/2 feet and
the rest just flopping out of pots. They're wonderful!
