‘Mermaid’s Dream’ Heirloom Sweet Pea Seeds

Mermaid’s Dream washes a trellis in oceanic shades of true blue, lavender, deep mauve, and violet, lifted by just enough cream for shimmer and contrast. The large Mammoth heirloom flowers open together, creating a romantic, cool-toned display.

Every long stem carries the classic sweet pea fragrance of orange blossom and honey. The 6–8-foot vines make a graceful cottage-garden screen and supply beautifully scented bouquets throughout the cool flowering season.
