Sweet Pea – Daphne

This is a long-stemmed variety that produces large, slightly ruffled flowers in a clear lavender colour. It is very free flowering and highly fragrant.

Sow in September in flowering site around 2cm deep. Sow later in pots or deep modules, such as root-trainers, 2 seeds to a module or 5 seeds to a pot. Place in cold frame to over winter. Sweet peas like moist, fertile soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. Repeated dead-heading prolongs the flowering period.
