Sweet Pea 'Mammoth Salmon Cream'
Lathyrus odoratus
This sweet pea produces extravagant, large flowers in pastel salmon pink. Extra-long stems make it superior for cutting.
Extra early, extra large blooms are the feature of this award-winning sweet pea. The 'Mammoth' series is an excellent choice for early spring color and the best strain for cut flowers. The plants are early to flower, heat tolerant and produce well into summer.
IMPORTANT GERMINATION NOTE
During our germination testing, we found a higher-than-usual number of seeds with hard seed coats in this year’s crop. For the best results, we strongly recommend scarifying these seeds before sowing. Use nail clippers to remove the tiniest sliver of the seed coat, or rub one small spot with coarse sandpaper, taking care not to damage the inside of the seed.
