Burnished Bronze Sweet Pea brings a warm, antique palette to the climbing garden with blooms in shades of copper, bronze, and muted orange. This Lathyrus odoratus variety is prized for its richly colored flowers and the classic sweet pea fragrance that makes it a favorite for cut flower arrangements and fragrant garden borders.
As a climbing annual, Burnished Bronze Sweet Pea is well suited to trellises, obelisks, fences, and arches, where its tendrils will scramble upward through the season.

Planting & Care
Sow sweet pea seeds indoors in late winter or directly outdoors in early spring once the soil can be worked. For best results, nick or soak seeds before sowing to help soften the seed coat, then plant about 1 inch deep in a moist, well-drained seed-starting mix or garden bed. Provide a trellis or other support at planting time so vines can climb as they grow.
Keep the soil consistently moist during germination and establishment, and water regularly during dry spells. Pinch out growing tips to encourage bushier plants, and deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Sweet peas prefer cool growing conditions and benefit from a layer of mulch to keep roots cool.
