The plant develops climbing stems with curling tendrils that attach to nearby supports. As the vines mature, they produce slender flowering stems carrying delicate, often highly fragrant blooms. The annual garden sweet pea should not be confused with edible garden peas, snow peas, or sugar snap peas. Despite the similar name, ornamental sweet pea plants are grown for their flowers and should not be eaten. Sweet peas are particularly popular in cottage gardens and cutting gardens because they combine vertical growth with excellent bouquet potential. Frequent harvesting can encourage the plants to continue producing flowers rather than directing their energy into mature seed pods.
