Lathyrus Odoratus

The Sweet Pea

The sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a flowering plant within the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae (legumes). It is native to Sicily, Cyprus, southern Italy and the Aegean Islands.

It is an annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 3 ft – 6 ft when supported on a trellis or other structure . The leaves have tendrils which twine around supporting structures, helping the sweet pea to climb. In the wild, the flowers produced by the sweet pea plant are purple and smaller than the flowers seen in cross-bred and developed cultivars.

Grown in Chehalis, Washington

Our sweet pea farm started off life in Sebastopol, California but moved to Washington state in 2020.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my sweet peas this year. I dry all my petals and save them for Memorial Day and scatter them on the graves so the sweet peas get double duty. Thank you for bringing this joy into my life.

Thank you so much for your guidance in growing Sweet Peas!    A couple of years ago I started with your Sweet Pea seeds and followed your directions for starting seeds in a cold frame, then planting, over-wintering, etc.    Success!  I do love Sweet Peas!
