Notes
'Royal Mix' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Royal Mix') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage 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 climbs 60 to 72 inches tall and grows rapidly. Red, pink, and purple flowers bloom in spring and summer. They have an exceptional fragrance and attract butterflies.
Pairs well with Sunrich Gold sunflower, Easy Wave Yellow petunia, Charm peony, and Red fescue.
