Sweet Peas Matucana are a piece of gardening history—an Italian heirloom variety thought to be among the first sweet peas introduced to Britain in 1700 by Sicilian monk Franciscus Cupani. These charming bi-coloured flowers blend violet and deep maroon petals with an intoxicating fragrance. Smaller than modern varieties, they bloom prolifically throughout summer on vigorous climbing plants. Provide support and deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming. A staff favourite for those seeking authentic heritage beauty and scent.
