An excellent choice, scroggin and I hope they will do well for you. Probably my favourite from that collection would be 'Julie Ann' , bred by Eagle themselves and does really well on the show bench.
Bumped this back up for latest ? about flowers dropping off.

Another thread - poster has probs with buds dropping off his sweet peas. Can you help?
Should have said - it's called 'Sweet pea heads dropping off' and poster has looked on this thread to try and find a solution.
KEF and me are too thick to know what to do....
Fairy totally agree. My peas are for the steamer. Gosh guess I'm banned again
Ah, gotcha....hadn't seen it.
Anyway, sweet pea 'bud-drop' isn't all that serious and will sort itself out when the nights get warmer.
It usually happens at the start of the flowering period and is mainly caused by variation in temperature i.e. hot days and cold nights.
It helps not to use cold water direct from the tap....let it stand for 24hrs if possible.
My Sweetpeas have flower buds on them....quite a few...and they will probably be open tomorrow when I get home Muchly excited is Tracey
One of them has also come through the picket fence and got friendly with my Geum and has wrapped itself around the stems
My first picking of Sweet Peas!
