My first attempt to germinate some saved sweet pea seeds came to nothing so I bought a cheap packet from Aldi of Spencer Mixed and yesterday I sowed them in small pots, two seeds to a pot. It is quite late to start them so heres hoping for better success this time.
Spencer varieties are one of the most popular, satisfying amateur gardeners and exhibitors alike with their large, scented and colourful flowers. The strong stems may be trained as cordons on canes for high-quality blooms, or allowed to scramble freely to make a colourful screen. Plants need a cool moist root run, helped by mulching after planting, and regular watering in dry weather.
