Lathyrus odoratus ‘Wiltshire Ripple’ is an old variety, bearing masses of frilled flowers in dark red-purple over a white background. Flowers grow on long, strong stems and have a superb fragrance.
Lathyrus odoratus ‘Wiltshire Ripple’ will quickly cover a trellis or obelisk in the garden or a container, and makes a fantastic cut flower.
For best results, feed fortnightly with a high-potash fertiliser, and deadhead regularly to prolong flowering.
