    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    The elegant, huge and intensely fragrant lavender-blue blooms on this rare Sweet Pea create severe “Lathyrus Lust” in those who spied out the mother plant last year. A very heavy bloomer, this “Spencer” sweet pea blooms later than most other types and loves our cool, coastal Summers. Heavenly cut flowers! Rich soil is best. Self-sows!
