Sweet Pea Beaujolais is a Spencer type with large, ruffled blooms in rich shades of deep purple and burgundy-maroon. A super choice for covering a wigwam or arch, with a classic sweet pea fragrance that really carries.
🌸 Flowering: June to August
📏 Height: to 150-250cm
🌿Annual
SOW: sow in deep pots from October to February and overwinter in a cold frame, or sow in March or April. In mild areas, you can also direct sow in spring. Sow seeds 12–20mm deep. Some gardeners soak seeds overnight before sowing to help with germination — not essential, but worth a try.
GROW: pinch out the tops when seedlings reach about 5cm to encourage stronger side shoots. Harden off spring-sown plants before planting out in May or June. Overwintered plants often flower earlier. Give them something to climb — wigwams, netting or hazel twigs all work well. Sweet peas are generous with blooms if you keep picking, so don’t hold back.
ENJOY: this is a well-scented variety, perfect for bringing indoors or enjoying in the garden. The rich colour stands out in both settings.
