Gawler

This variety is excellent for warmer climates.

​

The Gawler series from South Australia have exceptionally good scent and are very frilly. They produce flowers on long stems making them a flowers farmers delight. 

​

They require 10 hours of sunlight instead of 12 hours to activate flowering. Grown outdoors in the normal way, they will flower 2-3 weeks earlier than the other varieties.

​

It is important that Sweet Peas grown in warmer areas have finished flowering by the time humidity sets in.  Sweet Peas will develop powdery mildew if grown in humid conditions.

@mamabotanica  I’ve been loving the Gawker sweet peas from @australiassweetpeaspecialists. They bloom at 10/11 hrs of sun AND they are fragrant! That’s a rare combination.
