Description
Royal Family Mix Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a stunning annual climbing vine that brings old-fashioned charm and a sweet fragrance to any garden or cut flower program. This mix produces large, heat-resistant blooms in shades of red, pink, lavender, salmon, purple, and white, offering a romantic and colorful palette perfect for fresh bouquets.
This early-flowering variety produces long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting. It performs best in cooler conditions but can tolerate mild southern heat with adequate moisture. A true cottage garden classic, Royal Family Mix delivers reliable performance and elegance all season long.
Notes:
-
Performs best in cooler climates or early spring plantings.
-
Not as highly scented as antique varieties, but much more heat resistant.
-
Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers — too much foliage reduces flowering.
-
Excellent choice for market bouquets, cottage gardens, and vertical floral displays.
- Germinates at 55-65 degrees Fahrenheit
(Mildly poisonous and if consumed in large quantities can cause Lathyrus)
