BUYERS NOTES
A Sweet Pea that carpets the ground with a kaleidoscope of colour. Unlike other non-climbing varieties Sweet Pea Snoopea does not have tendrils (the things sweet used to grip for climbing) so the blooms and plant remain neater. It received 14 Awards for excellence from the Scottish and National Sweet Pea Societies and the R.H.S. Very versatile for beds, borders, excellent ground cover and windowboxes. Although they do not climb they grow over objects happily.
Sowing Information:
Sow October indoors, or March to april outdoors. Germinate at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a free draining, damp seed compost, 3 seeds per 7.5cm (Sin) pot.
