Whoops forgot to put in the text.  No wonder no one hs replied.

Does anyone know what the name of this variety is?  Love it, hope to save some seeds but would also like to buy some more.  Lovely two tone.

Hi,

I do not know the variety, but you can certainly grow them.
I wish I could do the same, all I seem to do is get a clump of green and twisted plants then the flowers have all the tendrils wrapped round them.
Takes a bit of an effort to get it right.
Wish I had more patience with them.
Beauty is hard to get perfect.
Keep the pictures coming so we can all enjoy them.

Actually have not given them enough tlc.  My allotment rather a problem very windy so decided on a hedge of peas and sweet peas.  Just dug holes filled with manure and stuck a couple of tubs of sweet pea seedlings on top.  Did give them a plastic bottle  for a week or so.  They are growing rather wild. 

The perfection is all with the plant, certainly no effort on my part.  I'm not very good at maintaining a long flowering period.  Stopping them forming pods is a bit of a chore.  Stalks not very long, would not win any prizes.  Still enjoy them.

I love them too, but as you say they are not prize winners. Not even the local show would look at them.
I am not in the show stage, but I do want the OH to see that I can grow something to please her.
