These are perennial sweet peas from my garden.  They are just as pretty as annual sweet peas but unfortunately they don't have any perfume.

I forgot to ask, are they easy to grow?

Yes, very easy. Do you want some seeds when they're ready to collect?

Palustris

Choose carefully where you plant them ,they are the devil to get rid of.
Gardening is the great leveller.

I've not had any problem with them running wild.

Lucky you- mine are absolutely rampant! I do love the flowers, but as soon as they are finished I'm out there pulling up the plants in the hope of getting fewer next year- and it never work! But try to pass them on to fribnds and I find they are really hard to root. And they don't seem to produce seedpods like the annual ones.

I must have a different variety as they produce seedpods after flowering from which I grow  new plants. I've not tried growing from roots.

Same here.  They are easy from seeds and not rampant.  Only difference between us is that mine are nowhere near ready to flower.  They are in a shady spot and will flower eventually.  They come up every year too.
