Everlasting Sweet Pea - Lathyrus latifolius

Lovely. I planted some seeds several years ago and they suddenly sprouted and flowered this year - but no white ones!

All the other ones I planted have come out deep pink. Maybe this is a mutant????

Better try and save some of the seeds then, Gilli. I was standing near mine recently and was showered with the seeds springing from the pods - I didn't realise at first where they were coming from :)

Gilli, it looks like "white pearl"....I've just collected some seeds from mine, if anyone would like some?

I will try and save some seeds Gee and Di. I quite like the white one. It gets lost among the white roses it is growing with though.

I dug mine up recently, and "transplanted" it when I was revamping the front garden. I was amazed to see how huge the roots were....I was expecting them to be something like an annual sweetpea, but they're not! I've sown a few seeds from it, and hope they germinate (I've probably killed the original plant by moving it....:((
It is a gorgeous plant...hope you're successful with your seeds Gilli...

Thanks Di. I'll have to see how many seeds I get. This one has just started flowering....a bit late I know. I didn't really expect them to flower this year at all.
I think they are pretty tough plants regardless of the way they look. I would be surprised if you had killed it by moving it. Good luck with it and with your seed sowing. :o)

Thanks Gilli. Grew mine from seed 2 years ago to celebrate our Pearl wedding anniversary (30 years)....it's taken till this year to flower well. I'm in soooo much trouble if I've killed it, lol :))

Its lovely Gilli....So nice to see a white one.......

Wow....30 years....Congratulations (a bit late) Di. :o)
Thanks Milky.

lovely white,Gilli

Thanks Suey
