Lathyrus Odoratus Var. Nanellus Pink Cupid | Approx 20 Seeds

A compact bicoloured pink and white form of this annual climber . Position: full sun Soil: fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Hardiness: tender perennial, but usually treated as an annual The superbly compact, dwarf sweet pea ‘Pink Cupid’ is perfect for growing in pots. Showy racemes of wonderfully fragrant, rose-pink and white flowers persist from May throughout the summer. There’s no need for a frame for support, this annual climber attracts beneficial insects and will tumble happily from pots and containers. Growing instructions: From October to late February, sow seeds into deep pots or root trainers filled with a good-quality seed compost and place them in a cold frame. Pinch out the tips as the plants grow to encourage them to become bushier and produce more flowers, and harden off before planting out in early April. Direct sowings can also be made in October or March-April. It is important to remove the faded flowers before they set seed, so picking them to fill a vase inside will only encourage more to form. Sow: October to April Flowering: June to September
