'Flora Norton' Sweet Pea Seedling Plants

Lathyrus Odoratus Flora Norton Sweet Peas

Flora Norton is a clear, blue sweet pea with unusually large wing petals that are translucent and slightly veined, reminiscent of butterfly wings. It is an exceptional sweet pea for its productivity - it will climb up to two and a half metres if you allow it to do so - and will continue to produce hundreds of small, perfectly formed flowers so long as you can keep up with the picking of them.

As one of the most loved heritage varieties its scent is just astonishing and this with its aquamarine good looks ensure that it remains one of the most popular sweet peas around. It has relatively short stems - just right for a posy on a bedside table.

Our Sweet Peas are delivered in purpose-designed, recycled cardboard packaging, and are ready to be planted out when you get them.
We generally send them out between March and May, but we will email you with the likely delivery timescale once you have placed your order.

Growing Flora Norton

Many English gardens abound with wonderful blues, lilacs and purples and Flora Norton contributes enormously to the blue symphony if grown on canes in the centre of any herbaceous border to float height and shimmering colour above the perennials. She is perhaps a little vigorous for the average pot, but she would look marvellous in a large, lead urn with suitable support.

There is an orchestra of blue sweet peas to combine with our first violin Flora Norton - from handsome, deep blue Lord Nelson to the wafty Albutt Blue or stick to other gentler shades like the Spencer variety Solitude with frilly, lavender coloured flowers.
