Sweet Pea
Sweet peas, also known as Lathyrus odoratus, are annual climbing flowers belonging to the Fabaceae family. Originally from the Mediterranean basin, they are highly prized for their delicate fragrance and their magnificent flowers.
Sweet peas come in a wide range of colors ranging from pure white to dark purple, including pink, red, purple and blue. Their flowers resemble small butterflies and give off a sweet and intoxicating scent, making them ideal plants for scenting the garden.
