Sam’s Selection — Sweet Pea Seed Mix
Lathyrus odoratus
A small, mixed selection of sweet peas, gathered with care.
Sam’s Selection is a pot luck–style mix of sweet pea seeds grown here on our farm. It includes a range of colors and tones—soft blues, pinks, blushes, reds, and occasionally deeper shades—offering a varied and surprising display in the garden.
This mix is part of a small learning project, with seeds collected and prepared by our young son as we teach him how a small family business works. With guidance, each step is done thoughtfully, from harvest to packet, with attention to quality and care.
As with any mixed selection, specific colors cannot be guaranteed, but the beauty—and unmistakable sweet pea fragrance—certainly can.
About Sam’s Selection
This is a limited, seasonal mix reflecting both the nature of seed growing and the scale of the project. Each packet is slightly different, and that variability is part of its charm.
Please note that the photograph is for illustrative purposes only. Your packet of Sam’s Selection sweet pea seeds may not contain these exact colors.

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.
