This dwarf strain is a mix of old fragrant varieties. Two-and-a-half foot vines provide a nice blend of colors (violet, crimson, lilac, dark purple, white); The stems are shorter and the flowers are smaller than newer strains, but they have a heavenly, rich, sweet fragrance.Sweet peasare not edible,all parts are poisonous.
