Annual. We toured California sweet pea fields in the spring to hand pick the colors for this enchanting sweet pea blend. Wedding Blush unites seven exquisite, very fragrant, large flowered, long stemmed varieties in a collection of white, cream, light pink, lavender, lavender/white bicolor, salmon, and deep pink. Grow these beauties on an arbor for a charming passageway, or to adorn a fence or trellis. Their long stems make fabulous cut flowers and simple, yet elegant bridal bouquets. Fill your house with vases of these ruffled blooms and enjoy their sweet smelling perfume indoors. Look inside this packet for tips on creating a romantic garden.
