Sweet Pea Perennial Blend HEIRLOOM Seeds
Lathyrus latifolius
Item #1170
Perennial. The perennial sweet pea differs from
the annual type not only by its
everlasting attribute, but also by the
very long vine length and usually
scentless flowers. The lush, trailing
stems are gorgeous rambling over
shrubs or fences, gracing an arbor, or
used as a groundcover. Perennial
sweet peas withstand summer heat
extremely well, and thrive in coastal
salty air. Treated as an annual in
cold winter climates. Perennial in USDA zones 3-8.
