Product description
Sweet Pea White Ensign is the ultimate pure white climber, producing spotless, heavily scented blossoms that open uniformly along sturdy stems. Because white flowers reflect ambient light beautifully, this variety stands out brilliantly at dusk, making it the perfect choice for framing patio doors or evening seating areas. It provides an exceptionally clean, high-contrast look when grown up dark wooden obelisks or rusted metal garden frames.
Provide full, unshaded sunlight to maximize bud production and unlock its powerful, sweet fragrance. It requires a deep container with excellent base drainage, filled with nutrient-dense, alkaline-leaning compost that is never allowed to dry out. When executing your daily watering routine, aim the spout directly at the soil level to keep the thick climbing foliage dry, preventing the onset of powdery mildew in late summer.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
