Sweet Pea seed has been difficult to obtain again this year so we have no White Ensign or Mrs Bolton (pink). But we do have plenty of Galaxy Mix, Air Warden (red), Noel Sutton (light blue) and Blue Velvet (deep blue). Also plenty of the highly scented heritage variety Matucana. Sweet peas are hardy and the first pots are already on sale. We recommend hardening off before planting out while there are still frosts about.
Last year’s miserable weather nearly killed our stock plant of the white Argyranthemum Chelsea Girl (the one with the very fine leaves), so there will only be a few plants this year. We have ordered extra of the ordinary white to make up. If you particularly want Chelsea Girl, they should be ready at the end of April.
Our thanks to Moles Seeds for the Matucana and Ball Colegrave Ltd for the use of their images.
