Two longer-stemmed varieties
Held on shorter stems, the pretty pink or white
‘Jilly’ AGM
Generally held to be the best creamcoloured sweet pea, this Spencer variety is almost the colour of a lemon cheesecake when the flowers open. Expect long stems, strong growth and a rich, sweet fragrance. HxS: 7x1ft (2.2mx30cm).
‘Richard and Judy’
Long, sturdy stems support wellplaced, frilly blooms in dark purple
– fading to lighter at the edges to give a sumptuous two-tone effect. Sweetly scented, it’s excellent for adding opulent dark tones to cream, pinks and mauves. HxS: 7x1ft (2.2mx30cm).
