Notes
'Cupani's Original' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Cupani's Original') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out 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, and the plant climbs fast, so give it a support. It sits low on the menu for deer. Flowers appear from spring through autumn.
Pairs well with Double Click Snow Puff cosmos, Common flax, and Red fescue.
