Notes
'Clotted Cream' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Clotted Cream') is an annual vine for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The fragrant flowers draw butterflies and bees. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it a trellis to climb, since it can reach 71 to 94 inches tall.
Pairs well with Double Click Rose Bonbon cosmos, Sunrich Orange sunflower, and Red fescue.
