Notes

'Pulsar' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Pulsar') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. The fragrant lavender blooms have striped, ruffled petals on long stems. Flowers open in early to late spring and again in early to late summer, and butterflies visit them.

Pairs well with Sunrich Gold sunflower, Charm peony, and Cerise Queen yarrow.
