Sweet Pea Leamington Seeds
Sweet Pea Leamington Seeds produce beautiful large multiflora blooms on vigorous plants, creating an impressive display later in the Sweet Pea flowering season. This very popular late-flowering Sweet Pea is an excellent choice for extending summer colour after earlier varieties have begun to fade.
The large flowers make Sweet Pea Leamington an attractive addition to traditional flower gardens, cottage gardens, borders, and cutting gardens. Plants thrive in moist, fertile soil with good drainage and perform best in a sunny position.
Autumn sowing allows young plants to establish over winter, while regular deadheading during the flowering season helps encourage a longer-lasting display.
