{"product_id":"col-9pk-swe-spe-mixx1","title":"Sweet Pea 'Spencer Mix' (Lathyrus odoratus) – Scented Climbing Annual (18 Plants in 2 x 9-Cell Trays)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSweet peas give some of the best-loved scent in the cottage garden, and this Spencer Mix brings large, ruffled flowers in a blend of colours. Whether trained up a trellis, wigwam or garden fence, these classic climbers are a staple of the traditional English garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpencer sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus) are prized for their vigour, long stems and fragrance. This mixed selection gives a succession of blooms through summer, ideal for cutting and bringing indoors to scent a room. The more you cut, the more they flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive 18 plants, growing in 2 plastic 9-cell trays with one plant to a cell. They are a Spencer coloured mix, so the exact blend of shades will vary. Plant out after the last frosts in a sunny, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil, and give them canes, netting, trellis or a wigwam to climb. Water regularly in dry spells, feed fortnightly with a high-potash liquid feed once flowering begins, and pick or deadhead often to keep the flowers coming. Allowing seed pods to form will stop flowering within a fortnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet peas are annuals, so they finish after flowering and are grown again each year. Pods and seeds are not edible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCultural Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet Pea, Spencer Sweet Pea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lathyrus odoratus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully Grown Height and Spread:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 150-200cm tall (variety and growing conditions dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigorous, twining annual climber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cottage gardens, cutting patches, borders, arches, wigwams, trellis and fences\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-green, pinnate leaves with tendrils for natural climbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e June to August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed colours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade, in a sheltered spot; also suits large containers with support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, fertile soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Annual.
