In the southern hemisphere, St Patrick’s Day March 17 is the traditional day for sowing sweet pea seeds, and the available range just keeps expanding.
Apart from the usual mixes, there are more seed packs with single colours such as the flaming red ‘Air Warden’, the large fluffy pale mauve blooms of ‘Arthur Hellyer’, purple-pink bicolor ‘Erewhon’, fabulously scented ‘Hi Scent’ and the exquisite salmon-pink ‘Princess Elizabeth’.
See a wide range at Mr Fothergill’s.
