Lathyrus odoratus ‘Fire and Ice' is a fantastic grandiflora sweet pea, producing masses of blooms in dark pink and purple-blue, with a strong fragrance.
The bicoloured flowers make ‘Fire and Ice' a fantastic choice for growing up a trellis or obelisk in the garden. It also makes a fantastic cut flower.
For best results, feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
