Heavily-scented Lathyrus
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. http://www.virtual-shropshire.co.uk/sweet-pea/ Rod Weed my email address to reply. http://website.lineone.net/~rodcraddock/index.html |
