Striped petals on long stems.
From the Spencer Series. Lavender blue streaks and flecks throughout and lining the slightly ruffled petal edge. Reminiscent of sea glass. Plants produce 3–4 blooms per 9–12″ stem. Mildly fragrant. NOTE: Spencer Series sweet peas are known as late-flowering because they require at least 12 hours of daylight, unlike more modern sweet pea varieties bred for winter production, which may require only 10–11 hours of daylight.
- Attracts hummingbirds.
