Sweet Pea 'Windsor'
Lathyrus odoratus
This richly hued sweet pea, with warm chocolaty-maroon blooms, makes a bold statement in the garden. Bred by Brewer and Unwins, it boasts strong, long stems and an irresistible fragrance, ideal for cutting. An award-winning variety released in 1999, it’s a true showstopper.
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.
