Mrs Bernard Jones is best described as candyfloss-pink over white with wavy petal edges, this AGM winning variety is a highly scented stunner with huge flowers on long stems. The quality of this variety has kept it a top seller ever since Bernard Jones bred this in 1981 (and named it after his wife hence ‘Mrs’). Height 180cm or more. 12 seeds.
SOW & GROW: either in October for overwintering in a cold frame, Jan-Feb under glass or sow in March or April in deep pots or direct sow in mild areas in the spring. Soaking the seed overnight before sowing can improve germination. Harden off your spring sown plants before planting out in May/June for blooms from July. Overwintered sweet peas will flower earlier than this. Provide support for them to climb, grow them with climbing beans to attract pollinators. Keep picking to encourage further flowers.
ENJOY: your sweet peas will respond to extra watering and feeding with a high potash plant food (tomato fertilizer is ideal) to keep flowering throughout the season
