    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Why is this beautiful pea so rare in the trade? Just the prettiest shade of sky blue (not lavender!) flowers are borne numerously on a bushy-type vine reaching 2-3’ tall. Native to India, it grows easily in heat as well as along the coast. Picks up where your Sweet peas left off. I grew mine in a 10” pot & loved it!
