Baby’s Blush produces delicate flowers in warm apricot and the softest pink on a creamy background. The flowers often have a charming frilled or ruffled appearance, with a gentle colouring that works beautifully in bouquets and arrangements. A lovely sweet pea for cutting, bringing soft warmth and a little old-fashioned prettiness to the garden.
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 seedlings are around 7 to 10cm tall to encourage strong side shoots. Provide support as the plants grow and pick flowers regularly to encourage continued flowering.
