Product Description

Sweet Pea 'Earl Grey'
Lathyrus odoratus

This eye-catching bicolor variety bred by Dr. Keith Hammett has the most beautiful maroon-purple flaked petals. Top petals are warm purple and bottom petals are a cooler purple giving it depth and dimension. One of the best flake varieties available, ‘Earl Grey’ is a vigorous, heavy flowering workhorse. 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 us each season.

*Please note: Unlike garden peas, sweet pea seeds are poisonous if ingested. Use caution around children and pets.*

Details:
Plant type: annual
Height: 6-8 feet
Site: full sun
Days to maturity: 75-90 days
Plant spacing: 6-8”
Pinch: when 6” tall
Approx seeds per packet: 10

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.
