Sweet Pea Perfume Delight, a grandiflora type, is an heirloom mix celebrated for its intense fragrance and rich variety of colours. These smaller, dainty blooms grow on tall plants and perform well even in warmer weather thanks to their heat tolerance. The fragrance is rich and distinctive—everything you’d hope for from a timeless sweet pea.
🌸 Flowering: June to August
📏 Height: 150 to 180cm and more
🌿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: keep picking to enjoy the perfume indoors and encourage more blooms outside. Perfect for growing up a trellis or arch near your favourite garden seat.
