Reviews
An Englishman with numerous gardening books to his credit, Rice recently wed American garden photographer judywhite, who contributes alluring images to this up-to-date guide to growing Lathyrus odoratus, the charming sweet pea. Rice offers gardeners a brief history of wild and cultivated plants and recommends specific varieties endowed with a strong perfume. A descriptive section lists the most desirable plants along with explanations that help clarify classifications ranging from dwarf and Grandiflora to flower types like Picotee. Gardeners wishing to grow copious amounts of healthy sweet peas for cutting or to enliven flower beds and borders should heed Rice's expert counsel on plant culture, care, and propagation, taking advantage, as well, of the proposed design ideas, from intermingling sweet peas so they scramble up rose bushes or shrubs to creating stunning color combinations or planting up eye-catching containers.
