Description
Burnished Bronze is a richly toned, romantic sweet pea. Petals emerge in rich, dusky plum shades, gradually deepening to a velvety chocolate-maroon as they age. Oversized blooms are supported by long, strong stems, an elegant, timeworn look that feels both earthy and refined. A classic Spencer variety with long, graceful stems, it flowers abundantly and adds depth and warmth to bouquets, wedding work, and cutting gardens, pairing beautifully with creams, blush tones, and smoky pastels. 10 seeds per packet.
 
Note: Sweet pea seeds are toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.

Growing Notes
In mild climates, sow seeds in pots in fall, overwinter in a protected location, and transplant outdoors in early spring. In colder regions, start seeds 10–12 weeks before last frost and transplant out around frost date. Provide sturdy vertical support such as netting or a trellis to encourage long, straight stems and generous flowering.
