Sweet Pea 'Blue Vein'

'Blue Vein' Sweet Pea Seeds
Lathyrus x hammettii 

A true breakthrough in sweet pea breeding, 'Blue Vein' is one of Dr. Keith Hammett's extraordinary color-shifting "Shifter" varieties. Unlike traditional sweet peas, its blooms transform as they mature - opening in warm shades of apricot and soft orange before developing striking blue veining that gives every flower a completely unique appearance.

'Blue Vein' is an outstanding choice for cutting, while its ever-changing colors create a fascinating display on the trellis and in the vase. Whether you're a collector, floral designer, or simply looking to grow something truly different, this remarkable variety is guaranteed to be a talking point.
