Sweet Pea Leamington

A sweet pea of quiet distinction. Leamington has been a staple of the English cutting garden for decades — its large, deeply waved flowers in a clear, rich lavender-lilac resembling crushed silk in the afternoon light.

An RHS Award of Garden Merit Spencer variety, it produces exceptionally long, straight stems and a powerful traditional perfume that has made it a perennial favourite on the competition bench and in the cottage garden alike.

• Lathyrus odoratus 'Leamington' — RHS Award of Garden Merit
• Hardy Annual (H3) — sow autumn or early spring
• Height: 1.8–2.4m | Flowers: June–September
• Approximately 25 seeds per packet
• Exhibition quality — outstanding for cutting

If you grow only one lavender sweet pea, let it be this one.
