This dwarf sweet pea is ideal for growing in a pot with a climbing structure such a wigwam of short canes or a metal frame. Scented, white and lilac flowers that attract bees are produced from June to August. Grows to 90cm tall and 20cm across in full sun or partial shade.
Keep picking the flowers, or remove the dead flower heads before they produce seed pods, to keep new flowers coming.
