Owl's Acre Sweet Peas : sweet pea flower seed - Lathyrus odoratus


Think I did try that but couldn't get it to germinate some years ago.
Might give it another go now you've reminded me, thanks David.
I think you were just unlucky. I've not had trouble with it. I hadn't noticed it having a strong fragrance though - I just grow it for its appearance.

Another to try is L sativus v azureus, a very strange electric/steely blue colour, but not scented.

Yes, L rotundifolia is just as lovely in the flesh as the picture shows, but again, not scented.
