Emily produces beautifully soft rose-pink flowers set against a white ground, with gently curled, ruffled petals and a strong, sweet scent. A modern Grandiflora with an elegant, slightly old-fashioned quality, it is a lovely sweet pea for cutting, bringing soft colour and fragrance to summer bouquets and arrangements.
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.
