Sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus) are more than just a pretty face in the garden—they're a true delight for the senses. Their colorful, ruffled blooms come in a range of shades, from soft pastels to vibrant jewel tones, and their sweet, lingering fragrance fills the air with an intoxicating perfume. Whether grown along fences and trellises, in containers on patios, or as cut flowers for bouquets, sweet peas an an absolute must for any garden.
Plants will grow quickly and its essential to keep them protected a little if you are planting out early. I plant my autumn sowings in March and my spring sowings in April/ May.
I protect them by covering them with cut down lemonade bottle to act as a mini greenhouse. I cut off the top and bottom and place over the plants at the base of my support structure. They offer just enough protection to keep them going until the weather warms.
