Sweet Pea 'Almost Black'
A fistful of sweet peas- there's nothing better. A modern grandiflora variety with the darkest maroon, almost black, flowers with a strong scent.
Originally bred by Dr Keith Hammett.
Hardy Annual
Aspect: Full Sun
Spacing: 8 inches apart
Days to Maturity: 75-90 approx
Height: climber 5-8ft
Best sown under cover in autumn to get the biggest, most productive plants. Plant out in spring. Or sow under cover from January and then plant out in the spring.
The young plants can handle a light cold-spell but do protect from hard frosty temperatures. Pinch out the growing tips at 6" tall to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. No need to pinch Autumn sown sweet peas.
Reminder- sweet pea seeds are toxic, keep away from children and animals
