Lathyrus odoratus 'Winston Churchill’ is a popular Spencer-type sweet pea, bearing dark crimson red, velvety flowers with a fantastic fragrance. It’s perfect for training up an obelisk or trellis in the garden, or even in a pot on the patio.
For best results, feed ‘Winston Churchill’ fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
