Notes
'White Frills' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'White Frills') is an annual for borders, containers, and cottage gardens. It handles cool weather and a light frost. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. The fragrant flowers attract butterflies and bees, and the plant grows fast to 59 to 71 inches tall. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Give it a support to climb.
