Perfume Delight is the sweet pea blend for gardeners who want fragrance turned all the way up. Antique varieties mingle rose, pale pink, lavender, deep purple, crimson, white, and distinctive bicolors, all carrying the nostalgic scent of orange blossom and honey.
Selected for greater heat tolerance than many old sweet peas, the 6–8-foot vines still relish a cool start. Train them on a stout trellis, then cut freely as the long stems open; the more bouquets you gather, the longer the spring show continues.
