I bought a package of Black Knight Sweet Peas thinking that they were an
edible pea (sweet pea sounds good doesn't it). As it turns out they are
poisonous. Is there any possibility that they will cross pollinate with
my edible peas and make them poisonous?

Don't worry. Different species. Different genera.

Sweet pea = Lathyrus odoratus
Garden pea = Pisum sativum

Sweet peas are called that due to the prominent, pleasant scent.

Thanks
