Lathyrus odoratus ‘Lipstick’ is a fantastic, wavy edged Spencer-type sweet pea, with bright red flowers and a strong fragrance.
A vigorous climber, ‘Lipstick’ will quickly cover a trellis or obelisk in the garden, and makes a fantastic cut flower.
For best results, feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
