They simply push each other out of the way and grow into perfect-sized vegetables with little or no distortion. This new species of the ever popular Sweet Pea has been specially bred for hanging baskets and is well expected to be very popular, largely due to its dwarf, compact cascading habit radiating multi coloured scented paper-like blooms. Lobelia 'Monsoon' is another new species of an all-time favourite.
