Notes

'Royal Family Mid-Blue' sweet pea (Lathyrus 'Royal Family Mid-Blue') is an annual vine for borders, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It shrugs off cool spells and light frost, though a hard freeze will damage it. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It blooms from early to late summer. The plant is also drought tolerant, and its climbing habit suits a trellis or fence.

Pairs well with Russian Mammoth sunflower, Blue grama, Spiked speedwell, and Zowie! Yellow Flame zinnia.
