Sweet Pea 'Mollie Rilstone'

Sweet Pea  'Mollie Rilstone'

Lathyrus odoratus

Mollie Rilstone is one of my favorite white/blush varieties! With fragrant, cream-colored blooms edged in soft apricot-pink that fade to pure cream, it has a charming antique, Victorian vibe. This elegant, long-stemmed Spencer type is perfect for cutting and a popular choice for weddings—you definitely deserve these beauties.

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.
