Bicolor Sweet Pea (Lathyrus Odoratus Bicolor Ripple Mix) - These flowers look as good as they smell with their uniquely ruffled, bicolor petals. Displayed alone or mixed with solid color varieties in bouquets, they are simply gorgeous. One of the most fragrant sweet pea varieties. Reaches 6 1/2 feet tall and blooms later usually June - August. It is particularly suited to cooler summers such as coastal areas.
For best germination, Sweet Pea seeds need to be scarified before sowing. Nicking the seed with a nail clipper breaks the outer coat so they can absorb water immediately. By doing this a larger percentage of the seeds will germinate and they will sprout a few days earlier. After nicking the seed, soak the Sweet Peas seeds over night in tepid water. Do this the night before sowing the flower seeds directly outside.
