Cupani Sweet Pea
Father Franciscus Cupani sent it to England during the late 1600's.
The Cupani displays 2 inch flowers that are purple and deep blue bicolor.
The Sweet Pea Cupani, 'Lathyrus odoratus', is a very old heirloom sweet pea traced back to 1699.
The plants stop blooming once the weather warms up.
The sweet peas bloom in the spring and the duration of blooming depends on the weather.
This sweet pea is also very fragrant.
They are used for cut flowers, ground cover, and wall coverings if given the proper support.

Ladybugs are found in the US, mostly in the western states of Nevada and California. These 1/2 inch long beetles feed on whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, and aphids. Keep ladybugs around by spraying a little sugar water on a few leaves.
