Sweet Peas - Janet Scott Pink
Sweet Peas - Janet Scott Pink
Lathyrus odoratus. This grandiflora variety has large, pale pink flowers with intense fragrance. Janet Scott is a famous old heirloom sweet pea that was first introduced by W. Atlee Bupee in 1903. Plant Janet Scott sweet pea seeds and expect flowers that measure 3cm (1" ) across on vigorous vines that grow 1.8m (6') tall. Each stem can bear three or four highly fragrant flowers which makes them excellent for cutting. Soak sweet pea seeds for six hours before sowing, and then direct sow in the garden into cool, damp soil. Sow sweet pea seeds as early as March in coastal BC, or start them indoors about that time for transplanting when the soil warms up in your area.
