'Wiltshire Ripple' sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus 'Wiltshire Ripple') is an annual for borders, cut flowers, containers, and cottage gardens. Cool weather suits it, and it can take a light frost. This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil. Its striped, ruffled petals sit on long stems and smell sweet. It blooms in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Sonja sunflower, Candy Stripe moss phlox, Red fescue, and Shock Wave Denim petunia.
