Leamington is a Spencer Sweet Pea variety boasting ruffled flowers in a pastel shade of lavender purple. The large flowers emerge on tall stems, with each stem bearing between 3 and 6 blooms. Flowering from June to September, these Sweet Peas are highly fragrant, with a strong, heady scent. They are ideal for cut flower arrangements, lasting up to 5 days in a vase indoors. Being climbing plants, Leamington Sweet Peas benefit from a support in the form of a trellis or obelisk to scramble up. They are easy to grow, preferring a sheltered spot in full sun in well-draining soil. Water well after planting and during dry spells to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Pinch the tips of young plants to promote bushy growth and an abundance of flowers and deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering. Also known by the botanical name Lathyrus odoratus, Leamington is renowned for attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, turning your garden into a buzzing hive of activity.
