Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Extra fragrant and flouncy with brilliant white, gently ruffled, double blooms edged in pale pink picotee. This new introduction from our fav. “Sweet Pea” breeder, Dr. Keith Hammett was named after the English village in which his mother grew up and features deliciously fragrant flowers adorning long sturdy stems perfect for bouquets! And the more flowers you cut, the more you get over a longer season! Reaches about 5’ tall with support. It can also be allowed to trail along the ground or cascade out of pots or over walls - just make sure to plant it somewhere your nose can easily access the blooms! Provide rich, well-composted soil for best show. Reseeds!
