Lathyrus tingitanus
 
Colour - bright pink 
 
Variety - annual
 
Scent - nil
 
Sow - spring

Grow: Spring. Sow directly after danger of frost has passed. It is recommended to soak most annual species for 24 hours. However, I haven't has an issue with sowing without soaking. Seeds are sown to a depth of 2cm into moist well-drained soil with a spacing of approximately 8cm. Germination takes 7-21 days.
 
Note: Lathyrus tingitanus flowers are much smaller than the Lathyrus odoratus flowers.and should be deadheaded regularly to prolong the flowering season.
