Lathyrus odoratus 'Mollie Rilstone' Spencer Sweet Pea 'Mollie Rilstone' (RHS AGM)
Widely considered one of the most beautiful Sweet Peas ever bred — large elegantly frilled flowers in creamy-white delicately edged with soft antique rose-pink picotee, on long straight stems with powerful intoxicating fragrance. RHS AGM holder. The "gold standard for cutting and exhibiting" combining vintage romance, ruffled elegance and heady traditional perfume.
This is the Sweet Pea that aficionados name when asked for their favourite. 'Mollie Rilstone' is a classic Spencer-type producing large elegantly frilled flowers on long straight stems that are the gold standard for both cutting and exhibition. The blooms are a masterpiece of colour: creamy-white petals delicately edged with a soft antique rose-pink picotee margin. As the flowers mature, the pink shade gently flushes into the cream, creating a romantic vintage look matched by a powerful and intoxicating fragrance. RHS Award of Garden Merit — confirmation of superior garden performance and reliability. Hardy annual (H3). Vigorous climber. Like all Spencer types, bred for "frill and thrill" combined with strong cutting stems.
