Description
These beautiful flowers seem they like to grow along our fence line to add color the backyard.
The sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus) your grandmother grew truly deserved the name sweet because of their delightful fragrance. In recent years, breeders have put fragrance on the back burner, selectively breeding plants with outstanding flowers and a wide range of colors at the expense of fragrance. You can still find fragrant varieties, often labeled as old fashioned or heirloom, but modern varieties also have their charm. Taking care of sweet peas is easy. They prefer long, cool summers, and do not last past spring in areas where summers are hot. Where winters are mild, try growing sweet peas over fall and winter.
