Cupani Sweet Pea

Lathyrus odoratus

Heirloom variety, the maroon and violet bicolored flowers will melt your heart.  Especially strong scent and heat tolerant this is a must grow!  Long stems are great for bunching.  Gets 5” tall and needs trellising.  

Sweet peas can be a challenge to germinate but once they get going they are tough.  Increase germination by nicking the seed coat then pre-sprout indoors by soaking in a wet paper towel.  Finally, sow in pots to transplant or plant the presprouted seeds.  Alternately, direct sow in cool soils of late February/March.  Give them time and  they will typically sprout on thier own out in the garden.  Sow ½” deep and thin to 4”.   

60 days to maturity

Packet contains ~20 seeds
