Royal Family Scarlet sweet pea

Garden uses

Notes

'Royal Family Scarlet' sweet pea (Lathyrus 'Royal Family Scarlet') is an annual for borders, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It blooms from early to late summer, so it adds color to the garden for many weeks. It is also drought tolerant, which makes it a good fit for a sunny rock garden. Plant it where you want a bright scarlet accent.

Pairs well with Ernest Markham clematis, Ballerina zinnia, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
