A very pretty sweet pea with an old fashioned name and air but only introduced to the UK in 2014. The two tone (or bicoloured) flaked flowers are large and well scented. Trialled by us in 2023, it made a sturdy plant that provided flowers for cutting for months. Sweet pea ‘Earl Grey‘ has made it on to our list of favourite sweet peas and we plan to grow it with 40 others in the gardens over the next few years.

Capturing the Gardens’ magic in a illustrated seed tin…
Sweet pea seeds grown and harvested with this much care deserve to have a thoughtful container to keep them stable and dry. So we made a fully-recyclable seed tin – decorated with an original Easton Collection design. Created by Ursula Cholmeley and blooming with sweet peas, the design reflects the colours found in the Arts and Crafts motifs of the Edwardian era when sweet peas were as adored at Easton as they are today.
