Large flowers, long stems, many flowers per stem and yet wonderfully fragrant... that is the combination that growers are always looking for. This variety adds a beautiful colour combination to that: deep purple (with some chestnut brown tones) stands out beautifully against the lilac pink.
The species listed here belongs to the modern Lathyrus odoratus varieties and has long since proven to possess all the qualities that enthusiasts desire: healthy growth, abundant flowering (the more you pick, the more it flowers), long flower stems with many flowers (4-6). Where indicated, the variety has an exceptionally good fragrance; otherwise, it has more than enough fragrance in any case and guaranteed colour fastness.
