Sweet Pea Eclipse Seeds

 

This is a well-scented variety that produces flowers which open pale mauve and deepen to cerise-purple. It is ideal as a cut flower for the home.

Sow in September in flowering site around 2cm deep. Sow later in pots or deep modules, such as root-trainers, 2 seeds to a module or 5 seeds to a pot. Place in cold frame to over winter. Sweet peas like moist, fertile soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. Repeated dead-heading prolongs the flowering period.
