High Scent - Sweet Pea Plant Starts (4-Pack, Pre-Order)

A head start on the most fragrant sweet pea you can grow.

This listing is for a pre-order of four strong young ‘High Scent’ sweet pea plants (Lathyrus odoratus), grown in deep Rootrainers, similar to the ones we use here on the farm. These cells encourage excellent root development, resulting in plants that transplant cleanly and establish quickly in cool spring soil.

Each start is carefully grown and selected for vigor and early growth, then shipped at the ideal stage for planting into beds, borders, or containers as soon as the ground can be worked. With proper support and cool-season conditions, you can expect a powerfully fragrant, showy display of blooms by late spring.

What’s Included

• 4-pack of healthy, individually rooted ‘High Scent’ sweet pea plants

• Grown in Rootrainers for strong, straight root systems

• Ready for early spring planting once frost danger has passed

About ‘High Scent’

‘High Scent’ is widely regarded as one of the most fragrant sweet peas ever bred. The blooms are soft cream in color, delicately edged with lavender, creating flowers that are both elegant and timeless.

Bred by Dr. Keith Hammett, this exceptional variety combines extraordinary perfume with strong garden performance. The long-stemmed flowers are excellent for cutting, allowing their heavenly scent to be enjoyed indoors as well as in the garden.

‘High Scent’ is also known by several alternate names, including ‘April in Paris,’ ‘King’s High Scent,’ ‘Hi-Scent,’ and ‘Brilliant Fragrance’ — all referring to the same intensely scented cultivar. If fragrance is your top priority, this variety is a clear standout.

Why Choose Plant Starts?

Skip the most time-sensitive stage of growing sweet peas. Whether you’re growing for fragrance, cutting, or guaranteed success, these ready-to-grow starts make it easy to enjoy strong, healthy plants without the uncertainty of seed starting.
