 | | Sweet Peas are classed in four main groups: the Ruffled varieties, which are great for the garden; the Multiflora varieties, which have many flowers on each stem; the Cuthbertson varieties, which are a heat-resistant, spring-flowering type; Early-flowering varieties, which are used for producing winter blooms in the greenhouse and for fall planting in mild climates. |
