Description
King’s Ransom is a dramatic sweet pea prized for its rich color shift, moving through an extraordinary spectrum—opening in creamy peach, warming to coral, and fading into smoky mauve and plum shades. A classic Spencer variety with long, sturdy stems, it flowers generously and brings depth and contrast to bouquets, cutting gardens, and moody color palettes. 12 seeds per packet.
 
Note: Sweet pea seeds are toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.
