Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Patricia Albano | Aug 11, 2005 | I am looking for this plant, the perennial sweet pea, in this color and in white. This is the first time that I've visited your website and you have quite a selection. If I chose this plant, how would it arrive? As seeds or a small plant..
My "selection" consists of the plants growing in my garden - they're not all for sale, and I'm not a nursery. However, I can trade (or sell) seed for the common purple variety - see my about seed page for a bit more information. |
