Sweet Pea - Dwarf Mixed - Lathyrus odoratus - Colourful mix of scented flowers - Fresh Seeds

Dwarf sweet pea is a delightful annual that offers a rich mix of colours along with a wonderfully sweet fragrance. Its low, bushy growth reaches about 30 cm, making it ideal for spots where traditional tall sweet peas would be too large. It produces plenty of colourful, butterfly shaped flowers and blooms generously through the summer, bringing a romantic, cottage style feel to any space. This compact mix is perfect for beds, balcony boxes, pots, and hanging baskets. Its neat habit suits anyone who wants cheerful colour and freshness without demanding care, and it also pairs beautifully with other seasonal plants, filling gaps and highlighting their colours.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds at a depth of 3 to 4 cm. This covering helps maintain the right moisture level and stable conditions for even germination.

Direct sowing outdoors

Sow dwarf sweet pea from March to May. The seeds emerge quickly, forming healthy green clumps that are ready to grow on and flower.

Spacing

Keep a spacing of about 15 x 20 cm. This allows plants to spread while still forming dense, attractive groups. Good spacing also supports healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Flowering period

Dwarf sweet pea flowers from June to September. All summer long it rewards you with vibrant colour and a pleasant, lightly honeyed scent that lingers in the air throughout the day. It is one of those plants that creates a distinct summer atmosphere, full of warmth, harmony, and natural beauty.

Growing tips

Grow dwarf sweet pea in a sunny, warm position sheltered from strong winds. It prefers fertile, free draining soil that stays moderately moist. Water regularly, especially during dry spells, while avoiding overwatering. Removing faded flowers encourages new buds, helping the plant flower almost continuously through the season. It needs no special treatment, yet it delivers long lasting, generous flowering. Its compact form makes it an excellent choice for colourful beds and for decorative containers near a terrace.
