Sweet Pea

(Lathyrus sativus) Delicate nodding pea flowers of the most electric tropical blue color! One of our favorite flower varieties, it is an exceptional vine for tumbling from baskets, over walls as well as for borders and bouquets. Not a true sweet pea but a close relative, sometimes known as chickling...

(Lathyrus chloranthus) These flowers are spring embodied! Exquisitely curling tendrils (so many!), lush foliage, and brilliant lime green pea flowers. They don’t smell because they don’t have to. Perfection is sometimes quiet and disregarded. You, of course, are better than that, which is why you will sow these seeds and...

(L. odoratus) In the quest for darker and darker sweet peas, 'Almost Black' takes the idea to the furthest extreme yet. We've long been attracted to the dark, rich, saturated colors, 'Windsor' with its incredible, deep dark maroon, and 'Just Jenny' with its darkest purple. With 'Almost Black,'  sweet pea...

(L. odorata) Ella said it best: “I never knew the charm of spring, / Never met it face to face. / I never knew my heart could sing, / Never missed a warm embrace / Till April in Paris.” When it comes to sweet peas, we prize subtlety and elegance over...

(Lathyrus odoratus) It seems to me that the Latin name for sweet peas could easily be a spell one might utter... The way it rolls off my tongue reminds me of thousands of sweet-smelling blooms and, in the case of “Bristol,” the meandering watercolor blues and lavenders of an early...

(L. odoratus) 'Ella Mountbatten' was the immediate suggestion from sweet pea grower Twozdai Hulse of Lunaseed farm, when I went into a wistful rant last year about how I wanted more tropical beach party vibes in our floral spectrum, and with its bicolor pink and lavender blooms it delivers just...

(Lathyrus odoratus) While most of the attention on sweet peas these days lies with the big exhibition cut-flower Spencers, we do still love the old-fashioned cultivars with their amazing fragrance and delicate flowers set among graceful tangles of vines. Introduced in 1905, Flora Norton features lovely sky blue blooms, similar...

(Lathyrus odoratus) Perhaps our favorite of the sweet peas we trialed years ago, ‘Heaven Scent’ delivers some of the most intoxicatingly fragrant blossoms on the farm, redolent of summer roses. Yellow roses, a little lemony, fresh and light. A deliciously soft peachy-pink bloomer, it impresses us with stout, robust vines...

(L. odoratus) We love the dark, moody sweet peas and this Spencer-type is a standout. Strong vines with long stems, dark eye-catching purple-black blooms, and wonderful scent. Whoever Jenny is, she should be pissed because she isn't "just" anything but spectacular! Released in 2005 by Eagle Nurseries, UK.80 days. FS...

(Lathyrus odoratus) A flawless modern Grandiflora featuring blooms a gorgeous hue of violet that almost appears whitewashed with a creamy white keel at its center. Kingfisher also possesses a deeply pleasing fragrance that is nearly nutty. Think of jasmine mixed with chestnut, and you’re close. Delicate and inexhaustible! 80 Days. UO...

(L. odoratus) An Uprising Seeds original. Such a lovely surprise this one is! Beginning as a sport from a 2017 Turquoise Lagoon sweet pea production crop, we saved the seed and replanted in 2018 for seed in 2019. Lunar Blue begins as nearly pure white with very subtle blue iridescence,...

(L. odoratus) Mesmerizing, almost bicolor, pink blushed orange with dark veining that fades to an elegant salmon rose. We have an uncertain relationship with the color pink. Sometimes, it works in a bold way, and sometimes, it falls flat in a cloud of cotton candy and My-Little-Pony stickiness. Miss Willmott...

(L. odoratus) Mollie Rilstone has a classic antique look in a modern, big-flowered, long-stemmed Spencer-type form. Cream centers with soft peachy pink edges bear some resemblance in color to another favorite, “Heaven Scent,” but with much more of a picoteed effect. If ten years ago you would have told us...

(L. odoratus) There’s a Sweet Pea renaissance happening in the cut flower market, and among one of the most sought-after by florists and flower farmers alike is the dramatic Nimbus. A Spencer type with big, prolific flowers on long stems, Nimbus wears its stormy dark-blue violet highlights sprayed against a...

(L. odorata) A lovely and rare color in the sweet pea range, 'Prince of Orange' produces an abundance of orange-pink blooms. Bred by Morse in 1928 it has all the superior fragrance of the old grandiflora types. 80 days. UO Packet: 15 seeds *Note: We will be compensating for a slightly...

(Lathyrus odoratus) Named for the former borough of Cornwall, know for its castle of the same name, Resormel brings the bright cheery shades of summer to the garden and floral work. Glowing vermilion blooms are well scented and abundant, with all the size and stem length of the Spencers, making...

(L. odorata) A dramatic, not-to-be-missed, Spencer-type flake variety with wine-red to purple streaking on a blushed base. Excellent scent and good strong habit. Bred by Owls Acre in the UK. Our lack of words simply means that we are speechless. 80 days, LS Packet: 15 seeds [split] Growing Info SOWING:...

(L. odoratus) New Zealand sweet pea breeder Dr. Keith Hammett is responsible for some of our favorite varieties. "Turquoise Lagoon" is one of a series of releases involving genetics that cause the flower to fade from the pink/lavender spectrum to the blue spectrum as it ages. With such a spectacular...

(L. odoratus) One of the best pure white Spencer-types available with a light ruffle to the petal margins and exceptional scent. Strong plants hold blooms on long sturdy stems. Bred by Truslove and Kerton.80 days. FS Packet: 15 Seeds *Note: We will be compensating for a slightly sub-standard germination rate...

(L. odoratus) Wonderfully fragrant blooms boast elegant bright chocolate/burgundy flecking and picoteed edges on a creamy white background. A Spencer type with long cutting stems and deep fragrance, Wiltshire ripple was one of the first sweet peas I really fell hard for; discovered in a British garden magazine and then...

(L. odoratus) Here at Uprising, we love the dark and moody maroon/black shades, both in the garden and arrangements. Windsor fills that role gorgeously amongst the sweet peas. A Spencer type with some of the largest flowers we’ve seen, it is dramatic in the extreme and a great cutter with...
