Blue Shift is a captivating sweet pea whose blooms change color as they mature, moving from purple- mauve and violet into luminous shades of blue. Flowers at different stages create a beautiful blend of colors along the vines, and the transformation continues after cutting. Bred by Dr. Keith Hammett, this fragrant Spencer variety has long stems and brings an unusual touch to gathered bouquets. 10 seeds per packet.
Note: Sweet pea seeds are toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.
