Hanging basket sweet peas were mentioned a little while ago, so I thought I would post this to give the general idea.
This is of a 14in basket, taken about March last year.
those are hanging basket sweet peas called 'Cupid White'
I do like them in your basket David K may try that

My sweet pea wigwam got badly bashed about in the winds we had a few days ago, but they're looking gorgeous again
Lovely Dove
I have new sweet peas seeds today from GN mag sweet pea floral tribute, I am planning in a few weeks to start more seeds off want to have as many flowers as possible this year
is that just planted in the top or in the sides? it is amazing
Now, this is something for another year. my best results have been from sowing the seed directly into the baskets in autumn and overwintering them as the others. Probably two packets of seed in that basket.
Daid K. wowee! I have just received various cupid dwarf seeds from English Sweet Peas which I intend to try in hanging baskets. I don't have anywhere I can overwinter anything but if I get half the result as your basket I will be well pleased

Hope no one minds, I asked Daniel to remove the previous and obsolete SP thread.

A forum member kindly sent me sugar and spice seeds which I am growing for baskets this year along with a packet of Cupid.
They are rather large baskets so I think I might have to pad them out with something if that basket has two packets in
