Sweet Pea Chocolate Flake
Sweet Pea 'Chocolate Flake'
Lathyrus odoratus
Chocolate Flake is a Spencer type sweet pea. Overwhelmingly pretty and captivating. Large, frilly maroon flaked flowers have stripes on both sides of the petals. As the blooms age and fade, they take on a chocolate brown color and appear to be dusted with cocoa powder. Lovely to cut and display in a vase. Expect the plants to produce some paler and darker variants. Bred by Dr. Keith Hammett.
