Hello witham I planted them because I wanted something to go up each side of the new arch we put in and the peas have mingled nicely with the honeysuckle and soon gets to 5 to 6 feet tall, plus the smell wooooo the smell remind me of the old fashioned perfume my gran use to wear.: sheila

I don't normally have flowers indoors I prefer to see them au natural, but I have on occasion had a few Sweet Peas they look very nice with Asparagus fern, the down side is the dozens of little black bugs that appear from out of their flowers although I bet someone who loves bugs will perhaps say that's the best thing about them
