Lathyrus odoratus ‘Prima Ballerina’ bears beautiful, lightly scented flowers in a range of colours including lilac, purple and pink. The blooms last well in water, making them excellent for cutting.
‘Prima Ballerina’ is an ideal choice for the garden, and will quickly cover a trellis or obelisk. For best results, feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
