Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A deliciously fragrant long stemmed English sweet pea, in a romantic warmly blushed hue. A top performing, early blooming cut flower, it has abundant clusters of flowers and blooms for a long time, even into fall where summer nights are cool. Rich, alkaline, well-manured soils that are well-drained will propel it skywards. Be sure to provide a trellis with fine diameter supports for the tendrils to delicately yet resolutely catch during their climb.
