*NEW* A bright combination of cerise and lavender.
Price : £2.00 per packet of 10 seeds.
Various strains of dwarf sweet peas have been raised over the years and released under a wide variety of names. We carried out trials of all the strains available, reselected the best to improve uniformity, and added new colours. These are now available as the Cherub™ range.
These are trailing varieties which only grow a few inches tall, and so can be prone to rotting under unfavourable conditions in our rather damp climate. To give of their best they need plenty of sunlight, good drainage and plenty of air movement. This makes them ideal for container growing, and 3 or 4 plants in an 18" tub will give a spectacular display. They unquestionably have great potential as patio plants or in hanging baskets or raised beds, but may prove less reliable in the border unless our summers continue to get warmer and drier. Plants should be dead headed regularly to ensure a long succession of flower.
The initial range of Cherub™ varieties was launched at the Chelsea Flower Show 23rd - 27th May 2006, and was an immediate success. We are pleased to be able to add three new varieties for the 2007/2008 season.
We now offer the following 13 distinct varieties. Also available as a random mixture of these and other colours. Click on an image to see more details, then use the back button on your browser to return to this page.
