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

A head start on a sweet pea grown purely for fragrance.

This listing is for a pre-order of four strong young ‘More 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 an intensely fragrant display by late spring.

What’s Included

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

• Grown in Rootrainers for strong, straight root systems

• Ready for early spring planting once frost danger has passed

• Shipped at the ideal transplanting stage

• Single-variety pack — perfect for scent lovers and heritage gardeners

About ‘More Scent’

‘More Scent’ is a sweet pea grown first and foremost for its extraordinary fragrance. If you want a variety that fills the air with perfume, this is the one.

The flowers are charming rather than showy, displaying a soft mauve tone on a creamy background, and are carried on compact vines that typically reach 4–5 feet tall. This smaller stature makes ‘More Scent’ ideal for planting along walkways, near doors, patios, or sitting areas where its scent can be enjoyed up close and often.

The blooms are best appreciated on the vine, as they do not last long in a vase. ‘More Scent’ also sets seed quickly, so frequent deadheading is essential to encourage prolonged flowering. Closely related to classic heritage varieties such as ‘Cupani’ and ‘Matucana’, it offers a traditional sweet pea experience rooted in scent rather than floral display.

Why Choose Plant Starts?

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