  • Saved Sweet pea seeds

    I've saved some seeds from this years sweet peas and was wondering will the colours come true or will I end up with just blue one like my neighbour says.

    They've always come true for me in the past and if they're anything like eating peas then they're pretty hard to cross anyway - note that they may be different to this but that's not my experience.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      Thanks Alison it was a packet that contained 6 bags each with a different variety in so hopefully I'll get the same pretty colours.

        The blue ones are purple anyway (says a disgruntled person who bought loads & loads of different "blue" shades trying to find one which isn't purple)

          I've often wondered this, but I'm not as worried about the colour as to the scent. If I collect seeds from a strongly fragranced sweet pea, will that scent be reproduced?

            I have tried a couple of Fothergill named varieties, "Singing the Blues", which turned out to be mainly mauve, and "Blue Velvet" which turned out some lovely deep blue flowers, with a nice scent, not as powerful as the old varieties.
