Sweet Pea Blue Velvet

Well Scented Spencer Type

The flowers of Blue Velvet are very deep blue, well ruffled and this long stemmed sweet pea makes an ideal choice for cutting. This variety of Spencer type Sweet Pea was first introduced in 1972.

Kings seeds recommend sowing seeds into a good quality seed sowing compost and water only with tap water. Do not use butt water as this can contain harmful pathogens, resulting in poor germination.

Please note that the scent rating has been misprinted in our 2025 catalogue. This is a 'Well Scented' variety, rather than 'Very Highly Scented'.
