'Madison' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Madison') is a vine for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It grows at a rapid rate and has a broad habit. Fragrant flowers open from early to late spring and again from early to late summer, and butterflies visit them.
