Sweet pea

The perennial sweet pea Red Pearl with its rich colors easily livens up any empty fence or pergola. In the wild, you will find it predominantly in light woodlands and on warm slopes across Europe. In our climate, it will do great in a sunny to semi-shady spot with ordinary loamy and well-drained soil. It does not require any complicated care, so even a complete beginner can easily handle its cultivation. It is a climbing plant that likes to climb to a height of up to two and a half meters. As soon as our grown seedling in a pot arrives at your home, choose a place for it by a reliable support and give it adequate watering after transplanting. Throughout the entire summer, it forms conspicuous pinkish-red flowers, which, unlike their annual relatives, do not smell, but make up for it with their endurance and ability to attract bees from the entire surroundings. The Red Pearl variety stands out precisely for its intense flower color and excellent health, thanks to which it does not suffer from pests or common diseases. Moreover, it is fully frost-hardy and will survive the winter without any problems. The long flowering shoots are perfect for a vase, where they give a very natural rustic impression. Just keep in mind that the whole plant is poisonous, so handle it carefully after cutting.
