From the history of the first Sweet Pea to tips on breeding, sowing and showing, this well-illustrated and informative book distills all the specialist knowledge built up over a century of growing and breeding Sweet Peas.

This volume is the successor to Charles Unwin's Sweet Peas, which was published in 1926. The Unwins Book of Sweet Peas is based on nearly a century of sweet pea growing and offers straightforward practical advise on raising the 'Queen of Annuals' for both the beginner and experienced gardener.
