Lathyrus Odoratus - Sweet pea - Spencer Arthur Hellyer

This sweet pea is named after the English gardener Arthur Hellyer, who wrote more than 100 gardening books. A highly fragrant sweet pea with a subtle lilac touch on white petals.

The Spencer variety is known for flowering slightly later than other sweet peas, as it requires at least 12 hours of daylight. Its flowers are larger than those of other sweet peas.

Sweet peas are a must in every cutting garden.

Sow sweet peas in deep pots or a root trainer in the greenhouse. You can do this as early as autumn for stronger plants and earlier flowers, or from January onwards.

Harvest every 3 days to maintain a continuous supply of these sweetly scented flowers. Want abundant flowering? Be sure to provide liquid plant food or rich soil.
Sweet peas need to be supported, as they can climb up to 2.4 m tall.
