Sweet Pea: Early Multiflora

Early Multiflora is a classic heirloom variety valued for its early blooms, vigorous growth, and beautifully fragrant flowers. This traditional climbing type produces abundant clusters of blooms in a soft mix of pinks, reds, lavenders, and whites, bringing both color and sweet perfume to the garden.

Ideal for trellises, fences, and arches, Early Multiflora quickly creates a lush vertical display. Its long stems and multiple blooms per stem make it an excellent choice for cutting, filling bouquets with both charm and fragrance.
