Description

Aptly named, Mammoth sweet peas have extra-large flowers with lengthy stems—perfect for cutting! The subtle, sweet scent is delightful, too. Developed in the 1980s from Early Multiflora Gigantea, a Spencer-type sweet pea, this variety boasts drought and heat resistance, which results in a longer season of blooms. Attracts pollinators. Deer resistant.

Caution: Most parts of this plant are toxic if ingested.
