See more » Our catalog has seven main categories (Spencers, Winter Elegance, Cuthbertsons, Old Fashioned, Lathyrus species, Collections, Mixes, and Greeting Cards.) All of the photographs are shown as a thumbnail print. Click on the thumbnail and you will see a large picture. The Spencer sweet peas have large frilly blooms and long stems. They are the most spectacular varieties and they make the best cut flowers. The Spencers bloom later than other varieties because they require 12 hours of daylight to bloom and (this is important) they do best in areas with cooler summers. If you are uncertain if this type will thrive in your climate, we suggest that you place a conservative order and try them out for a year or two. The main Spencer page lists all of the Spencer varieties according to their classification by the National Sweet Pea Society. The six additional Spencer pages are grouped according to color: white, cream and picotees, (picotees are white or cream sweet peas with a different color edge) pinks, blues, lavenders, reds, maroons. Winter Elegance sweet peas are an early flowering type of sweet pea. They require 10 hours of daylight to bloom. The flowers are larger than Old Fashioned varieties, but smaller than the more elegant Spencers. These sweet peas are an excellent selection for climates with hot summers. They are also useful where early bloom is required. The Cuthbertson Sweet Peas are supposed to withstand hot weather better than the Spencer varieties and they flower two weeks earlier than the Spencers. They require 11 hours of daylight to bloom. The form of the flowers is, perhaps, a bit plainer than the Spencers, but they are, nonetheless, an excellent choice for cutting. Old Fashioned sweet peas have small flowers and strong fragrance. They were in demand in the early 1900s. The Old Fashioned varieties are the most heat tolerant and the easiest to grow. The Lathyrus species are cousins of the sweet pea. We have included four species- three annuals and one perennial. We grew them for fun- we wanted to see what they looked like- and we were quite pleased with the results. Only limited quantities available. Collections give you an opportunity to have named varieties in individual packets. For busy people, collections are a helpful option. Mixes are seeds that are packaged in one packet. We suggest that you keep a pencil handy so that you can note varieties that are of interest to you. Also, please consider your climate before you decide to order. If you are uncertain, send us an e-mail. (pat@fragrantgarden.com) See less »

Grow sweet peas soon! According to the Gardener Guy, they're easy to grow and the more you cut, the more they bloom! NOT for eating. Color variety is stunning.
