'Charlie's Angel' was chosen by BBC Gardeners World magazine (July 2011) as the 'best ever' sweet pea. They say that 'this exceptional variety blooms for a long period and has superb perfume making it good for garden display, cut blooms or showing. 'Charlie's Angel' was also the first ever spencer type sweet pea to receive the RHS Award of Garden Merit.

• Position: full sun
• Soil: fertile, humus-rich, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average to fast-growing
• Flowering period: June to September
• Flower colour: lavender-blue
• Other features: highly scented flowers
• Hardiness: hardy annual
  
  Highly scented lavender-blue flowers add an alluring touch to cottage gardens or informal planting schemes, when they can be allowed to scramble over supporting obelisks, arches or trellis. Their soft colouring mixes well with stronger purples, blues and pinks.
  
  
• Garden care: Incorporate lots of well-rotted organic matter in the planting hole. To make sure you keep the plants in top condition spray regularly with a fungicide as all sweet peas are prone to mildew, and feed with a high potash fertiliser, such as Tomorite for plenty of flowers. Don't forget to keep cutting the flowers so that you get plenty more!
