Annual. Perfume Delight Sweet Peas bloom from spring to early summer. 5' - 6' vine. Full sun. 3/4" - 1" vibrant colors of purple, red, rose, white, pink, blue, scarlet, cream, and salmon. Very fragrant old-fashioned scent.
This is a more heat-resistant variety that will bloom when other sweet peas given up as spring changes into summer. Bloom time ranges from 4 - 6 weeks, a little longer than most others. A good choice to plant if you are late in sowing. Flowers are slightly smaller than other varieties, but their sweet fragrance, multitude of colors, and long bloom time more than makes up for it!
OUTDOORS: Cold Climates: Sow in early spring, as early as the soil can be worked. This means St. Patrick’s Day or earlier. Warm Climates: Sow in October through January for spring bloom.
INDOORS: Sow 4 - 6 weeks before planting outside. Note: Sweet peas require scarification to break their hard seed coat. Soak in water for 24 hours or lightly roll on sandpaper to nick the seed coat before planting.
