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

A head start on a truly distinguished sweet pea.

This listing is for a pre-order of four strong young ‘Senator’ 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 charming and reliable display of blooms by late spring.
