Why We Love It:

Sweet Pea ‘Giant Waved Mixed’ is a classic favourite for its generous blooms, elegant frilly petals, and intense fragrance. With a wide colour range—soft pastels to rich purples—this mix is perfect for climbing up arches or brightening garden walls. Long flowering and highly scented, it’s an essential for cut flower lovers and pollinator-friendly planting alike.

The Nunhead Gardener Recommends:

Perfect for pairing with climbing nasturtiums or trailing lobelia in vertical displays. Grow near seating areas or windows to enjoy their wonderful scent on summer evenings.
