Latin Name: Lathyrus odoratus ‘Knee-Hi’Â
The Sweet Pea ‘Knee-Hi Mix’ is a compact, fragrant annual prized for its short climbing habit and abundant blooms. Growing just 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) tall, it’s ideal for small trellises, containers, or border edging without the need for extensive support.
This mix produces 1.5-inch (4 cm) ruffled flowers in cheerful shades of pink, purple, red, white, and bicolors, with the classic sweet pea fragrance. Blooming spring to early summer, it attracts pollinators while resisting deer.
Thrives in cool weather, preferring full sun and rich, well-draining soil. Soaking seeds before planting improves germination. Regular picking encourages more blooms.
Perfect for cottage gardens or cut-flower patches, pair with dwarf snapdragons, pansies, or lobelia.
