Notes
'Blue Ripple' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Blue Ripple') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. The fragrant lavender and blue flowers have striped petals on long stems. They bloom in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit them.
Pairs well with Floristan sunflower, Charm peony, and Red Wings moss phlox.
