Description

Bijou is a charming heirloom variety prized for its compact growth and beautifully fragrant blooms. This dwarf mix produces an abundance of softly colored flowers in shades of pink, rose, lavender, and white, filling the garden with classic sweet pea scent.

Unlike traditional climbing types, Bijou forms tidy, bushy plants that do not require trellising, making it perfect for containers, borders, and small garden spaces. Its delicate blooms are excellent for cutting, bringing both color and fragrance indoors.
