Product Description
Sweet Pea 'Chocolate Flake'
Lathyrus odoratus
Bred by Dr. Keith Hammett, this unique brown-red flaked variety looks like it’s been dusted with cocoa powder. A favorite with everyone who visits the garden. Every cutting garden deserves a row of fragrant, nostalgic sweet peas. A fistful of these demure little blooms are how Floret was born and they continue to spellbind me each season.
*Please note: Unlike garden peas, sweet pea seeds are poisonous if ingested. Use caution around children and pets.*

How to Grow:
In mild areas seeds can be sown in pots in the fall, wintered over in a sheltered spot and planted out in spring. Everywhere else, sow seeds 10-12 weeks before the last frost and plant out right around the last frost. Provide a strong trellis or support for vines to climb.
Harvesting/Vase Life:
For the longest vase life, pick when there are at least two unopened flowers at the tip. Vase life will be shorter when picked more open. Sweet peas are a short-lived cut flower, lasting at best 4-5 days in a vase. Adding a source of sugar or flower food to the water will extend vase life a few additional days.
