Notes
'Solway Sapphire' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Solway Sapphire') is a vine for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. It grows quickly, so it can cover a support fast. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bloom from early to late spring and again from early to late summer.
Pairs well with Zohar sunflower, Easy Wave Red petunia, and Candy Stripe moss phlox.
