Sweet Pea 'Earl Grey'




Sweet Pea 'Earl Grey'
Lathyrus odoratus
This striking bicolor variety, developed by Dr. Keith Hammett, features beautifully flaked petals in purple-blue and maroon. The upper petals display a warm purple-blue hue while the lower petals lean toward a cooler purple, creating notable depth and dimension. A top flake variety, ‘Earl Grey’ is vigorous, prolific, and reliably heavy-blooming. Sweet peas are a true cottage garden staple which make wonderful cut and come again flowers from early Spring into Summer. Every garden deserves a patch and a bouquet inside your house to enjoy the nostalgic aroma.
