Like nothing else! All at the same time your plants will show colours of purple, lilac, mauve, pale and iridescent blue and turquoise. The earliest flowers are pink/mauve and as they develop they shift and morph through bright shades of blue. Bred by Keith Hammett and created from cross breeding with Lathyrus belinensis, this is part of a new class of plants called Lathyrus x hammetti.
A shorter, more delicate plant that the classic sweet pea. The seeds are also smaller than the normal sweet pea and often have split coats so they look a bit different. The split coats aid fast germination.
All our seed is hand harvested from plants grown in East Anglia.
