Sweet Pea 'Miss Wilmott'

Sweet Pea  'Miss Wilmott'

Lathyrus odoratus

This mesmerizing sweet pea blushes from pinkish-orange to salmon rose, with hints of dark veining for extra flair. Released by famed breeder Henry Eckford in 1900 and named after garden writer, Miss Ellen Willmott.  By 1906, it became the top choice for cutting—a timeless, fragrant heirloom.

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.
