Notes
'Nimbus' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Nimbus') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It grows well in cool weather and can ride out a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. The fragrant blue and white flowers open in spring and again in summer. Butterflies visit the blooms, and the color is unique and popular.
Pairs well with Taiyo sunflower, Split Second Morning Glory morning glory, and Red fescue.
