Small, exceptionally elegant and unusually abundantly flowering plants that delight gardeners, balcony owners, and cut flower growers with their dense foliage, delicate appearance, and continuous blooming. The fragrant sweet peas with variegated flowers from the W. Legutko breeding house are a refined and exotic variety that creates a vibrant, unusual, and expressive cascade of colors throughout the summer. This unique variety boasts flexible shoots and hundreds of butterfly-like flowers, on whose petals, in addition to the primary base color, there are pronounced stripes, linear patterns, and spots in a distinctly contrasting tone. Each flower is like an unrepeatable work of natural art that fills the garden with an unusually strong, sweet, and enchanting aroma. By its nature, this is a reliable and fast-growing annual climbing plant, which is used in our climate as an excellent element for vertical landscaping. W. Legutko's carefully prepared 3g seed packet guarantees high germination and excellent varietal purity, providing the opportunity to grow this unusual and romantic garden queen yourself.

⚙️ Cultivation instructions and recommendations:
- Sowing and seedling cultivation: Seeds should be sown in spring – in April in individual seedling pots indoors (preferably in deep peat pots, as sweet peas do not like root system damage during transplanting). To accelerate germination and soften the hard seed coat, it is recommended to soak the seeds in lukewarm water for 24 hours before sowing. Seeds can also be sown directly into open ground in early May at a depth of approximately 2–3 cm. Seeds germinate in about 10–14 days.
- Planting out and spacing: Young plants are planted in their permanent location in the garden or balcony boxes in mid-May, after strong spring frosts have ended, maintaining a distance of approximately 15–20 cm. When the plant reaches a height of approximately 10–15 cm, it is recommended to pinch off the tip above the 3rd or 4th pair of leaves – this will stimulate the formation of additional lateral shoots and produce significantly more variegated flowers.
- Location and soil choice: Sweet peas prefer a maximally sunny, warm, and sheltered from gusty winds location. The plant absolutely needs fertile, humus-rich, deeply worked, and moderately moist neutral soil with good drainage.
- Care and most important rule: This variety absolutely cannot tolerate the drying out of the root zone. Due to lack of moisture, the plant will quickly stop flowering and drop its buds, so it must be watered regularly and abundantly on hot summer days. To maintain continuous and explosive flowering, all faded flowers and formed pods must be regularly cut off, preventing the plant from expending energy on seeds.
