Lathyrus odoratus ‘St George’ is a great mix of red and white Spencer-type sweet peas – the colour of the St George flag. The blooms last well in water, making them excellent for cutting.
Lathyrus odoratus ‘St George’ 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.
