Description
An eye-popping farm-trial standout thanks to its unique ruffly cream petals outlined in deep dark violet with the sweet old fashioned fragrance we all long for in sweet peas. Elegance is an understatement when it comes to the Nimbus Sweet Pea. Stems are strong and an impressive 9-12” long making for a perfect addition to the cut flower repertoire.
