Product Details

Lathyrus odoratus. This grandiflora variety has large, pale pink flowers with intense fragrance. Janet Scott is a famous old heirloom sweet pea that was first introduced by W. Atlee Bupee in 1903. Plant Janet Scott sweet pea seeds and expect flowers that measure 3cm (1" ) across on vigorous vines that grow 1.8m (6') tall. Each stem can bear three or four highly fragrant flowers which makes them excellent for cutting.
