Flowering
Lathyrus tingitanus ‘Royal Purple’, the purple-flowered Tangier pea, is a vigorous climber smothered in rich purple flowers in summer, similar to sweet peas but with no scent. It will quickly climb to cover an arch or fence and the flowers are excellent for cutting.
Sow indoors
Soak seeds overnight before sowing. Almost fill 12cm (5in) pots with seed & cutting compost. Sow five seeds, evenly spaced, per pot and lightly cover with a little more compost. Water well after sowing, but not again until seedlings have emerged. Place in warmth 10-15°C (50-60°F).
Grow on/plant out
Grow on in unheated conditions, ideally in a cold frame. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier plant growth and more flowers. Plant out 20cm (8in) apart from March onwards in a sunny position.
Sow outdoors
Soak seeds overnight before sowing. Sow seeds in pre-watered, warm soil 2cm (1in) deep, 10cm (4in) apart. Keep soil moist until seedlings emerge.
Aftercare
Feed and water plants regularly, pick flowers often to ensure a continuous supply. Autumn sowings produce stronger, earlier flowering plants. Overwinter seedlings in a cold frame or under cloches.
How To Grow
Sow seeds on to the surface of pre-watered seed compost, but don't cover them. Keep warm, around 20°C and keep moist, but not wet. Allow 1-2 weeks for germination.
