Everlasting Sweet Pea
Lathyrus latifolius 'White Pearl'
- Dazzling clusters of bright white, sweet pea-like flowers scrambling through grey-green leaves
- RHS Award of Garden Merit winner
- Flowers from June to September
- A vigorous perennial climber which will quickly cover a sunny wall, this also looks pretty grown through a hedge or evergreen shrub or up a trellis
- Unlike the annual sweet pea, it has no fragrance but is highly attractive to pollinators
- Perfect for the cutting garden - fill your vases and save air miles!
- For the best flower production, pinch out the shoot tips to encourage and tie in new shoots to a support
- Please Note: Our climbers are pruned back each winter, and some during the summer, so you may find at certain times of year they do not cover the whole 90cm cane. This is intentional to ensure the best growth when you plant out
