This perennial Sweet Pea seed packet from Thompson & Morgan (model KB7574) is for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, long-lasting splash of purple-pink color. Its key benefit is returning year after year, rambling through existing plantings without becoming invasive. A caveat is that these particular perennial sweet peas are unscented, unlike some annual varieties. The product provides approximately 10 seeds for a resilient variety that supports pollinators, offering vibrant ground cover and color for slopes and borders.

No, this particular perennial variety, Lathyrus latifolius, is unscented.
Flowering typically occurs from June to September, with established plants providing blooms year after year.
Perennial means the plant will live for more than two years, returning to grow and flower each season without needing to be replanted annually.
This range, developed with Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, features seeds specifically chosen to attract and support a wide variety of pollinating insects crucial for our ecosystem.
Each packet contains approximately 10 seeds.
While they can be grown in large containers, they are best suited for open ground where they have space to ramble and establish their root system for perennial growth.
The best time to sow these seeds is in spring, directly into the soil where they are intended to grow.
Ensure seeds were sown at the correct depth (light covering), soil is kept consistently moist, and the location receives adequate sunlight. Check for any signs of pests disturbing the seeds.
The plant may not be receiving enough sunlight. Try to thin out crowded seedlings to allow better air circulation and light penetration. Ensure adequate watering without waterlogging.
Wipe affected areas with a damp cloth or spray with a mild, eco-friendly insecticide. Encourage natural predators like ladybugs.
Ensure the plant is in a sunny location and has access to nutrients. While perennial, a light feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring can boost flowering. Ensure adequate watering.
These seeds are best sown directly into the soil where they are to grow. Choose a position that receives full sun. Prepare the soil by ensuring it is well-drained.
Sowing: Sow seeds thinly directly into the ground in spring. Cover lightly with soil.
Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to ensure good establishment.
Support: While this variety rambles, providing a nearby shrub, trellis, or edge can help guide its initial growth.
Pruning: Cut back dead stems in late autumn or early spring to encourage new growth. Deadheading spent flowers is not strictly necessary for perennial growth but can encourage more blooms.
Compatibility: This plant is well-suited for planting amongst perennial borders, shrubs, and on sloping ground. It is generally not invasive. It is compatible with most garden soils, provided they are well-drained.
