A true show winner! Medium-height growth for smaller gardens. Produces fairly large flowers, sometimes with up to 7(!) on one stem. Reaching 90 cm in height, give them a small trellis or a few stakes for support.
The variety mentioned here belongs to the modern Lathyrus odoratus varieties and has long proven to possess all the characteristics that enthusiasts seek: healthy growth, abundant flowering (the more you pick, the more it blooms), long flower stems with many flowers (4-6). Where noted, the variety has an extra good fragrance, otherwise at least sufficient and guaranteed colorfastness.
