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.

Tony, probably. He recommended them to me


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

Don't know whether 'the original', but they are a very early variety
(despite the species-sounding name they are a variety not a separate
species)
