Notes
'Flora Norton' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Flora Norton') is an annual vine 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. Deer tend to browse other plants first. It grows fast and can reach about 6 to 8 feet tall, so give it a support to climb. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with Double Click Rose Bonbon cosmos, Common flax, and Red fescue.
