Sweet Pea 'Matucana' produces many bicolor flowers of violet-blue and maroon-red for a long time in summer. It's the most vigorous variety I've ever grown.
Matucana sweet pea makes a stunning companion plant for roses. The powerful fragrance can be detected from several feet away. It reseeds nicely in my zone 5 garden. Most other sweet peas have not been so successful.
Lathyrus odoratus 'Matucana' is a centuries-old sweet pea from Sicily. It was given the RHS Award of Garden Merit in 2014.
