Susan Burgess is a romantic sweet pea with large, frilly blooms in warm rosy pink, softened by creamy undertones. Its subtly antique coloring can shift toward blush and salmon as growing conditions change, adding beautiful variation to the flowers. A fragrant Spencer variety with long, strong stems, it’s a lovely choice for cutting and pairs beautifully with peach, cream, and dusty rose in arrangements. 10 seeds per packet.
Note: Sweet pea seeds are toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.
Type: Spencer
Lifecycle: Hardy annual
Height: 6–8 ft
Sun: Full sun
Days to bloom: 75–90 days
Spacing: 8 in
Pinching: Pinch when plants reach 4–6 in tall

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.
