Richard & Judy is a dramatic sweet pea prized for its richly layered blooms in deep, warm grape-purple tones. The velvety petals carry subtle depth and variation that catch the light beautifully, giving the flowers a luminous presence in the garden and in arrangements. A strong Spencer variety with excellent stem length, it’s a standout for cutting and bold color palettes. 10 seeds per packet.
Note: Sweet pea seeds are toxic if ingested. Keep away from children and pets.
