Sweet pea 'Earl Grey'

Lathyrus odoratus 

Beautiful bicolour striped dark maroon petals that fade to grey

Oh so so special. I only drink Earl Grey on special occasions and it never fails to make me feel like there is a little frisson of appreciation. This sweet pea is no different. I already love a striped sweet pea (me and Nimbus go a long way back) but this one has an edge of exclusivity. Not one for your big showy mixed bunches; you are going to want to put a few stems of this, single genus, on your kitchen table.

The top and bottom petals are slightly different shade of maroon/purple which gives them an incredible depth.
