Burgundy Sweet Pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a classic climbing annual prized for its rich, deep burgundy blooms and intense, sweet fragrance. These vigorous vines quickly cover trellises, fences, and arbors, making them a beautiful choice for cottage gardens, cut flower patches, and fragrant borders. The striking color adds depth and drama to any garden setting.

Planting & Care

Sow sweet pea seeds outdoors in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked, or start indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost. For best germination, nick the seed coat or soak seeds in water for 24 hours before planting. Plant seeds about 1 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge.

Provide a trellis or support for the vines to climb. Water regularly during dry spells, and mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming, and cut stems for bouquets to encourage continued flower production. Sweet peas prefer cool weather and may decline in intense summer heat.
