The most fragrant of all Sweet Peas and a true piece of horticultural history, this remarkable variety carries a story as rich as its perfume. In 1699, Father Francis Cupani discovered this beautiful, intensely scented wild Sweet Pea growing near his monastery in Sicily and sent seeds to England, marking the first recorded cultivation of Sweet Pea in the world. From those humble beginnings came a plant that still enchants gardeners centuries later.
A massive bloomer with an abundance of delicate, fluttering flowers, it retains its original, fabulous fragrance—sweet, heady, and unmistakably classic. More heat tolerant than other Sweet Peas, it performs beautifully even when temperatures rise, and its graceful habit makes it especially well suited to containers, where its scent can be enjoyed up close on patios and walkways. Left to its own devices, it will happily self-sow, returning year after year to weave its history, beauty, and perfume back into the garden.

We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
