{"product_id":"sweet-pea-miss-wilmott","title":"Sweet Pea, 'Miss Wilmott'","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(L. odoratus)\u003c\/em\u003e Mesmerizing, almost bicolor, pink blushed orange with dark veining that fades to an elegant salmon rose. We have an uncertain relationship with the color pink. Sometimes, it works in a bold way, and sometimes, it falls flat in a cloud of cotton candy and My-Little-Pony stickiness. Miss Willmott decidedly resides in the former camp. Released by perhaps the most famous sweet pea breeder of all time, Scottish horticulturist Henry Eckford, in 1900, Miss Willmott was once the most exhibited cultivar in England. Unlike the modern exhibition Spencer types, which have, to some extent, sacrificed scent for stem length, bloom size, and showiness, Miss Willmott harkens from an era when scent was central to sweet pea charms. This old-fashioned sweet pea is very, very productive and among the most fragrant available.\u003cbr\u003e75 days.
