Sweet Pea - Pink - Lathyrus odoratus - Romantic scent for pergolas - Fresh Seeds

Pink sweet pea ( Lathyrus odoratus ) is an annual climber that can completely change the feel of your garden. Its fine stems can reach up to 250 cm, covering fences, pergolas, and balconies with soft pink flowers. Their sweet, pleasant fragrance makes time spent nearby a real pleasure. With its romantic look and natural elegance, this sweet pea brings lightness and freshness to any space. It is also excellent as a cut flower, staying fresh for a long time in a vase and filling the home with a summery scent.

Sowing depth

Sow the seeds at a depth of 3 to 4 cm. This is an ideal layer of soil to provide the moisture and conditions needed for quick germination. Before sowing, it is worth soaking the seeds in lukewarm water for a few hours.

Direct sowing outdoors

The best time to sow outdoors is March or April, when the soil has warmed and the risk of frost is minimal.

Spacing

Leave 10 to 20 cm between plants. This gives the climbers enough space to develop, helping the flowers open fully and look more impressive. Sowing too densely can limit air flow and light, which may reduce the amount of flowering.

Flowering period

Pink sweet pea flowers abundantly from June to September. Throughout summer it produces masses of scented blooms in gentle shades of pink that also attract bees and butterflies. Removing faded flower heads regularly helps extend the flowering period and encourages the plant to form new buds.

Growing tips

Choose a sunny, warm position sheltered from strong winds. The plant prefers fertile, free draining soil with moderate moisture. Water regularly, especially during hot and dry weather, but avoid waterlogged conditions. It responds well to feeding with organic fertilisers or multi purpose fertilisers for flowering plants. With supports such as pergolas and fences, it creates striking walls of colour with a light, airy look. Pink sweet pea can also be grown in pots as long as it has a structure to climb, making a naturally fragrant decoration for balconies and terraces.
