Heavily scented creamy white flowers attract bees. Climbs to 1.8m tall in full sun and a well-drained soil. Flowers from May to September.
Keep picking the flowers, or remove the dead flower heads before they become seed pods, to keep new flowers coming.
These sweet peas require a structure to climb up, e.g. a trellis, fence, hemp netting, or similar. We grow ours up an old tree.
