Lathyrus odoratus 'Cupani' is a historic Old Spice sweet pea renowned for its exceptionally strong fragrance and distinctive bicoloured flowers. Each bloom combines rich maroon with deep violet-purple to blue-purple tones, creating the classic appearance associated with this old-fashioned sweet pea.
A vigorous annual climber reaching around 1.8–2.2 m, 'Cupani' is ideal for trellises, arches, obelisks and cottage garden planting. Its intensely scented flowers are excellent for cutting, and frequent picking encourages plants to continue producing fresh blooms throughout the flowering season.
● Exceptionally strong, classic sweet pea fragrance
● Striking maroon and deep violet-purple bicoloured flowers
● Historic old-fashioned variety with distinctive character
● Excellent scented cut flower for bouquets and arrangements
● Vigorous climber providing summer colour and fragrance
● Scented gardens
● Cottage gardens
● Cut flower gardens
● Trellises and obelisks
● Garden arches and climbing supports
● For earlier flowering, sow in autumn and overwinter young plants in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse; spring sowing from late winter to early spring is also reliable.
● Sweet peas develop a deep root system, so use root trainers or deep pots when sowing under cover to give roots room to develop with minimal disturbance.
● To improve germination of hard-coated seeds, place them on moist kitchen paper until they swell before sowing; stubborn seeds can be carefully chipped opposite the seed scar. Soaking overnight is possible, but prolonged soaking can increase the risk of rotting.
● Pinch out the growing tip when seedlings reach approximately 7.5–10 cm (3–4 in) to encourage strong side shoots and bushier growth.
● Pick flowers frequently and remove fading blooms before seed pods develop, as allowing pods to mature reduces further flower production.
Convolvulus tricolor 'Red Ensign', commonly known as Dwarf Morning Glory, is a compact annual producing striking trumpet-shaped flowers in a rich wine-red to crimson shade. Each bloom has a beautifully contrasting white ring surrounding a bright golden-yellow centre, creating the distinctive three-coloured pattern for which this species is known.
Unlike climbing morning glories, Red Ensign forms a low, bushy to gently spreading plant rather than a tall vine. Growing approximately 20–30 cm tall, it is particularly attractive in patio pots, window boxes, hanging baskets and at the front of sunny borders. Fresh flowers are produced continually through summer, opening particularly well in warm, bright sunshine and creating a vivid display over the neat green foliage.
● Striking wine-red to crimson trumpet-shaped flowers
● Distinctive white ring and brilliant golden-yellow centre
● Compact, low-growing habit rather than a tall climbing vine
● Produces fresh flowers continuously throughout summer
● Excellent for pots, window boxes, baskets and border edges
● Patio pots and containers
● Window boxes
● Hanging baskets
● Front of sunny borders
● Rock and gravel gardens
● Soak the hard-coated seeds in lukewarm water for approximately 24 hours before sowing to encourage faster and more even germination.
● When starting indoors, sow individually into small pots or modules and minimise root disturbance when planting out, as Convolvulus does not appreciate repeated transplanting.
● Choose a warm position with plenty of direct sunshine. The distinctive flowers open best in bright, sunny conditions and may partially close during dull or cool weather.
● Avoid overly rich soil and excessive feeding; freely draining, moderately fertile soil encourages compact growth and abundant flowering.
● The gently spreading habit makes Red Ensign particularly effective near container edges, in window boxes and hanging baskets where flowering shoots can naturally spread outward.
