Sweet Pea 'Lord Nelson'

This grandiflora type is a wonderful, highly-scented, old-fashioned, true navy blue, as you might expect, with a wonderful rich perfume, and is the result of Henry Eckford's work in the late 19th century. It has what are now considered to be smaller flowers and shorter stems than many modern hybrids, with three, sometimes four flowers to a stem, but they are irresistible, with wonderful, overpoweringly strong scent, and great dignity and elegance.
