Royal Wedding produces large, beautifully ruffled flowers in pure white, sometimes with the faintest creamy warmth as the blooms open. Highly scented and carried on long, strong stems, this classic Spencer sweet pea is particularly well suited to cutting, bouquets and wedding flowers. Introduced in 1981 to mark the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, it remains a beautiful choice for white summer flowers.
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.
