'Mollie Rilstone' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Mollie Rilstone') is an annual for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and privacy screens. 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. It climbs 71 to 94 inches tall and grows fast. Deer rarely make it their first choice. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees.
