We are proud to announce that Owl's Acre has been awarded the exclusive distribution rights for an exciting range of speciality primulas, including the first range of the traditional Jackanapes form to come true from seed. Initially we are pleased to offer eight separate colours of the renowned YOU AND ME™ strain of hose-in-hose polyanthus.
Welcome to the new Owl's Acre Sweet Peas website. We have now installed an integrated shopping cart and a secure RomanPay payment system which accepts payment using a wide range of credit cards. Unfortunately, Amex is not supported. Just use the menu to access whatever type of sweet pea seed you require. Happy shopping!
If you want modern large flowered sweet peas for the garden or exhibition, select the 'Spencer' option from the menu. 'Heirloom' varieties have masses of highly scented smaller flowers and give a more informal effect. 'Dwarf' sweet peas form spreading mounds only a few inches high and are great for containers and hanging baskets, while the 'Winter' sweet peas can be grown in the frost protected greenhouse to give bloom in early March from an autumn sowing. Every sweet pea and Lathyrus species we offer has a page of its own. Simply click on the thumbnail photo to see a large photograph and more detais about the variety. If the number of sweet peas avilable is confusing and you are unsure which varieties you want, why not choose one of our 'collections' of sweet pea seed? These are attractively packaged and make great presents.
As well as the full range of sweet pea varieties, this new website has a wider range of Lathyrus species than were previously available. These offer interesting possibilities for the adventurous gardener, particularly Lathyrus belinensis which is a relatively recent discovery and rapidly gaining in popularity. Our prices on these are very competitive.
The older version of the Owl's Acre Sweet Peas website is still available and has more detailed information on sweet pea cultivation. More general information about sweet peas and other Lathyrus species can be found on the lathyrus.info website. Some of the most useful links are listed on the menu, but please note that these links will take you away from this site. We suggest that you bookmark this page so that you can easily return to buy your sweet pea seed.
