Sweetpea

.

Perennial Sweet Pea’, a beautiful and undemanding climber
Clusters of beautiful ‘pearlescent’ flowers are freely produced on undemanding plants. A vigorous climber, it will cover trellis or walls or happily scramble through shrubs.
Height: 180-300cm (6-10ft)
Plant Class: Hardy Perennial (HP).
Habit: Tall, Climbing.
.

Position: full sun or partial shade
Soil: fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil
Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
Flowering period: June to September
Hardiness: fully hardy
Ever popular, this plant is smothered in showy sprays of purplish-pink, sweet pea-like flowers from June to September among grey-green leaves. A vigorous, perennial climber, it looks lovely scrambling over a sunny wall, although it needs to be tied into supports. Unlike the annual sweet pea, it has no fragrance.
Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter in the planting hole. Pinch out the shoot tips to encourage bushy growth and tie in new shoots to a support. Cut back the plant to ground level in early spring.
