Lathyrus odoratus 'Spring Sunshine Cream' is a high-quality selection of scented sweet peas, specially developed for professional cut flower production in early spring. This variety combines vigorous growth, long, sturdy stems, and an abundance of large, billowing flowers in a soft cream color. These characteristics make the plant ideal for both commercial production and for ambitious home gardeners who want to enjoy fragrant, abundant flowers early in the season.
Unlike the original summer bloomers of Lathyrus odoratus, 'Spring Sunshine Cream' was selected for early flowering under short-day conditions. Spring varieties like this one flower in around 11 hours of daylight, allowing flowers to be harvested as early as late winter or early spring. This makes the variety ideal for cool greenhouse conditions, where standard sweet peas often develop slowly in low light.
'Spring Sunshine Cream' boasts vigorous early growth that continues even in low light levels. Each stem can bear 5–6 large flowers, developed on sturdy, wavy stems. The soft cream flowers have an elegant appearance and add a subtle, refined touch to bouquets and arrangements. Thanks to their long, straight stems, the flowers are ideal as cut flowers, retaining their firmness and shape even after intensive picking.
For optimal germination, it's recommended to soak 'Spring Sunshine Cream' seeds in lukewarm water beforehand. Sowing can be done at various times, depending on the desired harvest time:
December sowing for early spring flowers
Sow in May for an autumn harvest
The variety thrives in cool greenhouses with limited light, but it's important to support the stems and allow sufficient space for optimal flower development. Regularly picked flowers encourage new blooms and significantly extend the flowering period.
'Spring Sunshine Cream' is ideal for:
Professional cut flower cultivation in greenhouses
Early harvest for spring bouquets and flower arrangements
Home gardeners who want to harvest flowers early in the season
