Notes
'Prince of Orange' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Prince of Orange') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It climbs quickly to about 5 or 6 feet tall, and its fragrant blooms attract butterflies and bees. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Give it a trellis or other support to climb.
Pairs well with Double Click Snow Puff cosmos, Common flax, and Red fescue.
