The Sweet Pea Collection
5 hand-picked seed varieties
Nothing compares to the intoxicating scent of Sweet Peas drifting on a warm summer breeze. Five of our absolute favourite varieties, selected for their long stems, ruffled blooms, and incredible perfume — a palette ranging from pristine white and soft romantic pinks to deep moody maroons and navies.
Whether grown up a rustic wigwam or trained on a trellis for exhibition-quality blooms, this collection fills your home with vases of fresh scented flowers from June to September.
How to Grow
Sow in October–November for the biggest earliest plants — overwinter in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Or sow January–April indoors for a reliable summer display, planting out once frosts have passed. Always use deep root trainer pots or toilet roll tubes — Sweet Peas have long roots and need the space to develop properly.
Plant in a sunny spot with rich fertile soil; dig in plenty of manure before planting. Pinch out the growing tip at 3–4 pairs of leaves to encourage bushy side shoots. Tie stems in regularly as they climb. Once flowering begins, pick every single day without exception — a single seed pod allowed to form will stop the whole plant blooming.
Arrives in signature eco-friendly packaging — a ready-to-give gift for anyone who loves the scent of an English country garden.
