Named after the heroine of Wuthering Heights, Cathy belongs to our Romantic series of Sweet Peas, which hark back to the Victorian 'grandifloras', but have larger flowers and longer stems. 

This variety is rich cream in colour and heavily scented.

Do not chip the seeds nor soak them in water before sowing. Sept/Oct sowings produce the most vigorous and earliest flowering plants. Seedlings are best over-wintered in a cold frame or under cloches.

Support young plants with canes, netting or trellis to about 180cm (6ft). Pick the blooms regularly to ensure a continuous supply.
