Our News for 2023
Last year saw the sad loss of Her Majesty The Queen, who did the country proud with her 70 years of service, and will be sadly missed. It also brings to an end our “Royal Warrant”. We have had the honour of displaying this on our website and packets for the last five years, but sadly this will be the last year.
Over the winter months we had one of the worst cold spells for a few years in which we lost a lot of plants to the frosts in our greenhouse as it dropped to -10 for a few nights, not had this problem for a long time and caught us out. Hopefully the January sowings will catch up and we can enjoy many months of flowers and scent this year.
New for 2023
Pinstripe. This year’s new release is a lovely Purple/Mauve stripe with large blooms on strong stems. Has a good perfume. Bred by ourselves and has taken 7 years to bring to our catalogue.
Last year’s release
Platinum Sensation. This new Sweet Pea is named in honour of Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Anniversary, 70 years of service to the country. An outstanding Pale Blue, starting off White and ageing into Pale Blue. This has taken seven years to bring to fruition. It has four florets, on stout stems, with a very strong perfume. A must have for garden decoration and exhibition.
Buy Sweet Pea seeds using our website; we stock nearly 50 varieties, many of which we have bred ourselves. All of the other varieties have been selected by us as the very best available for perfume, colour and quality. In addition to selling our named Sweet Pea varieties individually, we have put together a selection of collections and mixed packets, each chosen for a particular theme.
Sorry, but the nursery is not open to the public.
Eagle Sweet Peas are a specialist producer and retailer of Sweet Pea seeds. As a breeder of new Sweet Pea varieties, in 2014 we were thrilled to announce the release of our new variety HELEN MILLAR. In 2017 we released PATRICA MARLYN, MARK WILLIAMS and EVIE JONES. In 2018 we released ARIANNE. 2020 we released ALLAN HODGSON. REBECCA was released in 2021. Over the years we have been awarded numerous RHS Gold Medals, but pride of place must go to the many Chelsea Gold Medals that we have won.
