Sweet Pea Promise
Sweet Pea 'Promise'
Lathyrus odoratus
Promise is a bi-colored, pink and white, beautifully scented sweet pea. Eye catching in a vase or in the garden. Bred by Roger Parsons.
The red petals fade quickly in the sun, so harvest when there are at least 2 buds still unopened.

Featured product
These are the same Rootrainers I use here at Sweet Pea Gardens. I rely on them season after season to start my sweet peas seeds — and they’ve outlasted every hobby tray I’ve ever tried.
Each set includes one sturdy tray and eight hinged books that open like a little greenhouse journal, revealing strong roots. The design encourages deep root systems, minimizes shock at transplanting, and lasts for years.
This is a professional-grade Rootrainer system — built to withstand repeated use, with heavier plastic and a sturdier design than typical consumer trays.
Includes:
-
1 reusable tray (3.5″ deep)
-
8 “books” (4 cells per book = 32 cells total)
