Notes
'Elegance Watermelon' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Elegance Watermelon') is an annual vine for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It grows rapidly to 60 to 72 inches tall and bears fragrant rose and salmon blooms. Butterflies visit the flowers, and the plant is early and prolific.
Pairs well with Sunrich Gold sunflower, Easy Wave Yellow petunia, and Charm peony.
