Few flowers capture the romance of a cottage garden quite like sweet peas. Delicate, ruffled blooms in shades of pink, purple, white, red, and coral — and a fragrance so beautiful it stops you mid-step. Cut a handful and bring them inside, and your whole room fills with the scent of an English garden in bloom.
Sweet peas are a South African autumn-sowing favourite, producing armfuls of cut flowers through winter and into spring when little else is blooming. They're a gift that keeps giving — the more you cut, the more they flower.
