Named after the Enfield school master generally credited with introducing the sweet pea into England in 1699, 'Robert Uvedale' is a stunning pink sweet pea with large frilly blooms. Reputedly sent some seeds by the Italian naturalist, Francesco Cupani, Uvedale was apparently the first to grow sweet peas in the UK and the resulting luxuriously scented flowers caused quite a stir in their day. This is a traditional perfumed and climbing variety which boasts outstanding garden performance. Perfect for cutting and for exhibition.
Outstanding garden performance and excellent heat tolerance are the attributes which won 'Villa Roma Scarlet' a Fleuroselect Gold Medal. Dwarf and bushy plants need no supporting and freely produce stunning rich red blooms on strong stems making this an ideal variety for adding to borders as well as containers
