I have just tried growing your Victorian colossal pea, with fantastic results.
We have a small garden and my wife found these thinking we would get more for the same space as the 'normal' peas. Problem is they are so heavily laden with pods they are tearing from the support frame and I have had to tie them up with soft string. A problem that is very welcome. I have just sown more in the greenhouse to plant out for a later crop. I have also tried your coloured carrots but too soon to try, but I will be ordering more seeds and greater variety in the future.

These were first grown by the late Eric Shirley in the 1940's at his home and allotment in Isleworth, Middlesex. Clearly these hold a great deal of nostalgia for us!
They are renowned for both their perfume and exhibition quality blooms; see (and smell) our trials here on the nursery every Summer.
Perfect for growing on trellis, arbours and arches, these really do make a fabulous show in any garden - and provide a 'constant' supply of flower for the home; in fact the more you pick them the more they will continue to flower.
Our blend is from 40 distinct named varieties in a grand mixture including varieties such as Air Warden, Andrea Robertson, Blackcurrant Mousse, Blue Danube, Bristol, Brook Hall, Charlie's Angel, Evening Glow, Firebrand, Flagship, Kelvedon Beauty, Mrs R. Bolton, Nanette Newman, Noel Sutton, Pluto, Red Ace, Red Arrow, R.A.F., Rosy Frills, Rouge Parfum, Shirley Pink, Southbourne, Swan Lake, White Frills and Winston Churchill.
Recognised to be an excellent attractant and nectar source for bees and other beneficial insects.

- Grow to approximately 8 feet (2.4 metres) tall with suitable support.
- Thrive in full sun and a rich moist soil.
- Plant 6" - 9" (15 - 23 cm) apart.
