A fabulously dramatic sweet pea with rich deep purple flowers that stand out amongst softer shades, with an intense heady fragrance. Sweet pea ‘Almost Black’ is a long-stemmed variety, ideal for vases, and cutting flowers will stimulate the plant to produce more.
If you prefer to grow your plants from seedlings our Sweet Peas are grown to order on the Marshalls Garden nursery in Lincolnshire by our experienced team.
Produced in deep, recyclable trays our Sweet Pea greenhouse is kept at the optimum temperature to produce tough plants ideally suited and ready to be transplanted into pots and borders at home.
Each one of the 12 cells in the tray contains multiple seedlings grown in a peat free compost and are well trimmed producing great value, strong healthy plants which are readvito produce more stems and therefore more flower power during the summer
With Unwins enviable heritage over the past.
100 years and particularly in their success with Sweet Peas, this range is very close to our hearts. With a range of partners, we spend time assessing existing and new varieties from around the world from as far as New Zealand to ensure they are the best selections and really will perform in your garden and when cut and placed in the vase: We look out for stunning newwarieties and create colourful new colour combinations which prove ever popular each year

How you will receive your plants:
Selected by our team of experts and sent from our nursery, you will receive your garden ready plug plants in plug trays in a box. These are designed to keep your plants secure and to prevent damage in transit.
Can’t plant straight away?
If you aren't able to pot your plugs up straight away then ensure they stay moist. You can place your plugs on a saucer or tray of shallow water so they are able to stay hydrated. Aim to have your plugs potted on within 3 days.
Planting in containers: Sprinkle a layer of stone or gravel in the bottom of the container to aid drainage. Use a high-quality young plant or general-purpose compost spaced evenly with enough space to allow the plants to grow. Mix in a slow-release granular fertiliser in the compost before placing the plant to provide plenty of nutrients. Water thoroughly once planted up. Continue to water every 3-5 days and don't allow the container to dry out.
Planting in the ground: Dig a hole approximately twice as deep and 3 times as wide as the plant, if your soil is heavy mix in general-purpose compost, horticultural sand and stone or potting grit to ensure good drainage. Gently compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
