Alison Louise produces delicate, light steely-blue flowers with white throats and a soft pearly sheen. The flowers can vary from blue-lavender to soft mid-blue, giving this multiflora sweet pea a lovely, natural range of colour. Each stem carries five or more flowers, making it particularly productive for cutting and arranging in vases.
Sow from October to November for earlier flowers, or from late January to April for summer flowering. Sow into deep pots or root trainers, covering the seed with approximately 1cm of compost. Keep at around 15°C until germination. Autumn-sown plants should be overwintered in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse, then planted out in spring. Pinch out the growing tip when plants are around 10cm tall to encourage strong side shoots. Provide support as the plants grow and keep picking flowers regularly to encourage continued flowering.
